Synopsis

Against a colorful and psychedelic rural scenario in Argentine Mesopotamia, this film depicts the life and works of poet and reciter Edgar Estigarribia (1923-1989). A compulsive, self-taught creator, the "Poet of Guaran" recorded more than 200 glosses within some of the most popular Chamame albums. Due to his talent and charisma, the gloss (a musical theme's introductory poem) was definitely incorporated to Tarragosian Chamame, one of the richest, most danceable and joyful rhythms of Argentine folklore.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
