For this, he looks for his former promoter, Pichuco, today a successful coffee theater entrepreneur who predicts the failure of his idea. It offers, however, buy its valuable collection of vinyl records. Driven by hunger and misery Zorzalito decides to sell his records but ends up being scammed by the cynical businessman. Zorzalito returns to his poverty, but, with an indomitable tango heart, he takes his idea to the canteens of the Center of Lima, where he manages to triumph ... although only in his imagination.
