Fresh faced and naive, 17-year-old Bennie arrives in Buenos Aires to
search for his older brother who has been missing for more than a
decade. The family had emigrated from Italy to Argentina, but with the
great musical success of their father Carlo, an acclaimed symphony
conductor, the family moved from Argentina to New York. When Bennie
finds his brother, the volatile and melancholy poet Tetro, he is not at
all what he expected. In the course of staying with Tetro and his
girlfriend Miranda, the two brothers grapple with the haunting
experiences of their shared past.
