The film is a poetic drama about a family torn apart by deep rivalries, secrets, and betrayals. The bohemian Buenos Aires neighborhood of La Boca is the backdrop for Tetro . One of the oldest neighborhoods in the city, La Boca was inhabited early on largely by Italian immigrants, and is the birthplace of many important singers, musicians, poets, and painters. Coppola conducted a lengthy search for the film’s protagonist that eventually led him to the intense and imaginative U.S. actor and director, Vincent Gallo ( Arizona Dream , Buffalo ’66, The Brown Bunny ). Tetro is a writer who returns to Buenos Aires after fleeing from an unbearable family history tied specifically to his domineering father, Carlo Tetrocini, a famed orchestra director, played by Klaus Maria Brandauer ( Mephisto , Out of Africa ). Tetro opens with Bennie’s arrival in Buenos Aires from New York City hoping to reunite with his older brother, Tetro, whom he last saw at age 7. Now, just before his 18th birthday, Bennie refuses to leave Buenos Aires without discovering why his brother left and never returned for him as promised. Arriving at his brother’s modest apartment, he meets Miranda, Tetro’s girlfriend, played by Spanish actress Maribel Verdú (Y Tu Mamá También, Pan’s Labyrinth ) but doesn’t get the warm welcome he expected from his brother.
