Anconetani

2015 · 76 min

A gentle, affectionate portrait that lingers in a cluttered workshop, letting an old craftsman's stories and cheer wash over you like a slow, fond memory.

Overview
In the Anconetani family's former home, located in the Chacarita neighborhood of Buenos Aires, you'll find the workshop, the instrument shop, and the Accordion Museum, which displays century-old instruments and preserves the family's history. Nazareno Anconetani, 91, cherishes the nearly extinct craft of accordion making. With his joy and the magic of his stories, he transports us to a past where effort and work were a daily celebration of life.
