The Esperanza, once a glamorous cruise ship where the music of Papa Tango reigned supreme, has seen its best days. When eldest daughter Anna returns after years on the ship, which she left far behind for good reason, she is confronted with a world in which her father tries desperately to hold on to his glory days. In the confrontation with her father and her sisters Clara and Blanca, frustration, despair, longing, melancholy, pain and love echo through the compelling music.
