The morning of the 28th of March, 1977, the news broke out that the prestigious composer of "Ode to joy", Waldo de los Ríos, was found dead with two gunshots to the face. This documentary is a project trying to decipher all the secrets behind the public figure of the celebrated Argentinian musician, who lived in Spain since the 60s. During the investigation, we find a life of fame, luxury, passion, homophobia, dictatorship, esotericism, depression, solitud, an enigmatic suicide... and oblivion. We try to understand how one of the biggest composers of universal history transformed his own life into a requiem. From home-movies, photographs, personal letters, audio tapes and other inedit material, the documentary presents the most intimate and hidden portrait of this revolutionary musical genius.
