Synopsis

In this episode, renowned German baritone Benjamin Appl receives a strange proposal from an anonymous patron to go on a musical investigation trip.

Since Benjamin has always been interested in tango and is an expert in German lied, he believes this could be a good opportunity to investigate the similarities and differences between these two musical genres.

He decides to accept the proposal and the conditions that the mysterious patron has established: in Buenos Aires, he will be helped at all times by a local guide and translator; the investigation will last six days; he will have to give a concert of his own repertoire in front of a local audience; and finally, he must give a concert in Berlin, in which he narrates his experience, conveying his valuable personal experiences, and in which every musical piece must relate to what he experienced in Buenos Aires.

SYnopsis

German violinist Carolin Widmann receives an offer from an anonymous patron to fund a musical research trip.

She decides—now that she has this opportunity—to travel to Argentina to investigate something that has always interested her: the music of Alberto Ginastera.

When she arrives in Buenos Aires, the guide and assistant promised by the patron never appears.

With only a greyhound for company, she will have to conduct her research through unfamiliar territory where strange characters will begin to cross her path and lead her toward a surprising musical prism.

Back in Berlin, she will give a concert, telling the audience about this trip, which she remembers almost as a dream.
