Tuve el Corazón (I Had the Heart)

International Premiere

This uplifting, music-themed Argentinean film centers on Moti Cohen, a once-famous rock producer who discovered the hit band Las Panteras with their chart-topping song “Tuve el corazón” ("I Had the Heart") twenty years ago. But just as success was within reach, the band signed with another agent, leaving Moti behind. Now, Moti’s life has taken a downturn—he's divorced and scraping by with odd jobs for his uncle. When his car breaks down in the outskirts of the city, he leaves it with Bartolo, a stuttering mechanic.

While waiting for his car, Moti is unexpectedly approached by his former record label and asked to find a tango singer for an upcoming city festival. In the most unlikely of places, Moti discovers that Bartolo is not just a mechanic—he’s a talented tango singer. Along with his stepfather, Bartolo forms a dynamic tango duo. Sensing a second chance at success and with renewed hope, Moti dives headfirst into the vibrant world of tango, determined to reclaim his former glory and help Bartolo shine.

Packed with passion, rhythm, and a dash of humor, this uplifting story of second chances and the transformative power of music will sweep audiences off their feet, just like a great tango.
