Gardel in Berlin — a short film by Veronica Isola
Buenos Aires, Berlin, the 1920s and tango form the backdrop to Clara’s story. Her life changes radically with the outbreak of the First World War.
The young woman flees to Buenos Aires, becomes a tango singer and lives in the era of Carlos Gardel. At the end of her life, Clara’s mother reveals her most closely guarded secret:
Clara’s origins. Clara returns to post-war Berlin to search for traces of her father. But time is running out, and she urgently needs to find this message from beyond the grave.
The film is currently in post-production and will be completed by the end of the year. A co-production with Jäger/Isola Pictures. Completion is planned for the end of 2026.
