Synopsis "Algún Tiempo Atrás (in Spanish)"

La perfección es inalcanzable. Sin embargo, Gustavo Cerati la buscó con fuerza y pasión en su arte. En conexión con ese espíritu irreductible, Algún tiempo atrás. La vida de Gustavo Cerati aborda el recorrido vital y creativo del hombre y del artista con la misma conciencia --la de que hay enigmas de imposible resolución-- pero sin limitarse jamás en su afanosa investigación. Decidido a recuperar la parte más luminosa de esta figura única, la de uno de los músicos argentinos de mayor proyección internacional, Sergio Marchi no deja rincón sin visitar: en procura tanto del compositor e intérprete que trascendió masivamente con Soda Stereo y luego se reinventó en una extraordinaria carrera solista, como del hijo de una familia trabajadora que --dato que suele olvidarse bajo el prejuicioso mito del «cheto -- llegó desde el interior del país a la Buenos Aires de los 50; del niño travieso, curioso y activo; del adolescente insaciable que conoció la ebullición rockera de los 70; de ese muchacho que supo que habría de hacerse a sí mismo a fuerza de talento y también de trabajo. Del ser enamoradizo que encontró en las mujeres un manantial inagotable de inspiración, mucho amor y no pocos padecimientos; del marido y padre que anheló ser. Del obrero musical que muy poca gente conoció; que experimentó con el rock, el pop, la electrónica, con la tecnología y con sus pelos. Y de la estrella hábil, escurridiza y audaz que lidió con adversidades externas e internas y supo sortear muchas de las trampas de la fama. Del hombre que transitó varias lunas y unas cuantas vidas. En virtud de una investigación minuciosa, una multitud de entrevistas exclusivas a otros artistas, amigos y allegados, y un archivo personal enorme forjado a través de una relación de años que fue un vínculo profesional pero también de afecto y complicidad, Marchi pone en juego las múltiples dimensiones de este hacedor de universos, desbarata algunas falsas creencias y recupera la magia de un personaje a la vez mítico y absolutamente real y sensible, de carne y hueso. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Perfection is unreachable. However, Gustavo Cerati searched for it in his art with passion and might. Connecting with that irreducible spirit, Some Time Ago. The Life of Gustavo Cerati addresses the life and creative journey of the man and the artist with the same consciousness--aware that there are impossible enigmas--but never restricting its thorough investigation. Determined to recover the most luminous part of this unique figure, one of the most widely-renowned Argentinian musicians, Sergio Marchi covers every unknown corner, looking for both the songwriter and the musician that transcended massively with Soda Stereo and then reinvented himself in an extraordinary solo career. The son of a working-class family--a small detail often overlooked under the prejudiced myth of the cheto--that traveled from the interior to Buenos Aires in the fifties. A naughty boy, curious, and active; an unsatiable teenager who experienced the outbursts of rock in the seventies; a boy who knew he had to create himself by dint of talent, but also of hard work. That lovesick being who found in women an infinite spring of inspiration, much love, and plenty of suffering. The husband and father he longed to be. The crew member that very few people knew, who experimented with rock, pop, electronic music, technology, and his hair. And the crafty, elusive, audacious star that dealt with adversity, both externally and internally, and knew how to avoid many of the pitfalls of fame. Of the man who traveled several moons and quite a few lives. In virtue of a thorough research, a multitude of exclusive interviews with other artists, friends, and close relations, and a huge personal archive created throughout a years-long professional relationship that was also of affection and complicity, Marchi sets forth the multiple dimensions of this creator of universes, unravels some false beliefs, and recovers the magic of a man who was at once myth and absolutely real and sentient, a man of flesh and bone.
