In 1969 the Epstein brothers founded a music store in downtown Buenos Aires. They offered imported records thus quickly becoming a sanctuary. Youngsters who later became notable figures in the rock scene, namely Claudio Gabis, Nito Mestre, Charly García and Andrés Calamaro, all agree that it was the place of freedom and inspiration they so desperately needed. It was also the time when the artistic avant-garde was nourished by a nascent national rock scene, and this, in turn, by art, provoking an explosion in the midst of a society isolated and lethargic, due to a repressive state apparatus. The documentary tells the story of this iconic record store through archive material and testimonies.

Nicolás Dell’Acqua EscribiendoCine ...the documentary is not only a delight for music lovers, but also a reflection of an era that, although different, deserves to be remembered. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 8/10 Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Alejandro Lingenti La Nación (Argentina) ...the modest material related to the record store and the historical contextualization provided by some academics have created a good picture of the period, synthetic but eloquent. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com [The record store] was a good business for a long time, of course, but also a cultural movement whose effects this documentary manages to expose in a sincere and direct way.
