Synopsis

In the heart of Argentina's vibrant Córdoba province, a young boy with irrepressible energy and a voice that could move mountains embarks on a journey to redefine an entire musical genre. El Potro: The Rhythm of a Nation chronicles the meteoric rise, infectious charisma, and untimely loss of Rodrigo "El Potro" Bueno, the legendary singer who revolutionized cuarteto music and became the heartbeat of a nation. From his first steps on stage as a toddler alongside the iconic Juan Carlos "La Mona" Jiménez, to recording his debut album at five, Rodrigo's journey was destined to break barriers. But his path wasn't easy. We follow him as he struggles to rise from obscurity, performing in small town clubs, facing rejection, and overcoming personal doubts. Guided by his parents, particularly his mother Beatriz, a songwriter with dreams of her own, Rodrigo's story is one of relentless determination, love for music, and the pursuit of an authentic voice in a world that demanded conformity. With his unconventional style—short hair, casual clothes, and electrifying stage presence—Rodrigo shattered stereotypes, turning cuarteto from a local sensation into a national movement. The film delves into the highs of his explosive success with albums like Aprendiendo a Vivir and the challenges of fame, family, and a rapidly growing legacy.
