Yesterday's Boys Didn't Use Hair Fixers
A man lets his mistress down (Mireya) and marries a high society woman. He will not be happy. Over the years, he will meet Mireya, who is now old and ill and is mistreated by his own son. Buenos Aires, 1906; Alberto (25 years) is a young man from a wealthy, aristocratic family, engaged to be married to a young woman of his own social class. His nightlife revolves around dance halls of dubious reputation, always accompanied by his friend and mentor, El Mocho Ponce. A keen drinker and a tango dancer, a morally questionable music at the time, he meets La Rubia Mireya, an older courtesan, in one of these places, with whom he falls in love. Alberto's family refuses this relationship; they demand that he marry his girlfriend and instruct Ponce to go see Mireya and tell her to leave him for good. Deeply saddened, Mireya accepts and returns to her former life. Buenos Aires, 1910; Alberto (29 years) is a wealthy man; he has married his girlfriend and has had children, but he is not happy. By chance, at a charity fair organized by his wife, he runs into Mireya, and they both discover that their love for each other is still alive. Passion takes over, and they are about to run away together, but at that moment Alberto's children arrive, and the escape is thwarted. Buenos Aires, 1936; Alberto turns 55. He is a bitter man, disregarded or ignored by his family. The only person with him is his friend Ponce, who, as a gift, lets him listen to a tango he'd composed on the radio, recalling the younger days that will never return. Afflicted by sadness, they go out into the Buenos Aires nightlife, trying to relive their past, but only end up feeling sadder. In a bar, they notice a group of young men mocking a shabbily dressed older woman. Alberto is outraged and comes to her defense, discovering, to his bitter surprise, that it is Mireya and that one of the young men mocking her is his son, plunging into a state of deep mortification. But life happens in times of the unexpected, and thus Alberto will live an experience that will show him that not all is lost.
