Itzia, Tango & Cacao

As a small child, Itzia would accompany her father, a bandoneon player, to all his tango concerts. Born deaf and mute, she could feel his music. But fate separated them and now, years later, Itzia (played as an adult by director Martínez), works in the cocoa farms of the village she has called home with her adopted father. Then, one day, she “hears” the sound of the bandoneon calling her from far away. No one believes her and in fact, some are sure she is losing her mind. But Itzia cannot ignore the sound of music.
