Paraguay, 1959. Returning from Buenos Aires with rock ‘n’ roll in his veins, the charismatic Narciso quickly becomes a radio sensation and a symbol of freedom in a nation suffocated by the military dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner.

As rumors spread and fear silences the truth, his death exposes a society shaped by repression, prejudice, and political control. Inspired by real events, Marcelo Martinessi crafts a haunting portrait of a nation where identity, desire, and dissent carry deadly consequences.

In the quiet, frostbitten town of Harrow’s End—where the steel mill has shuttered and hope feels rationed—music is little more than a memory. The once-proud Harrow Community Choir, known simply as The Choral, hasn’t sung together in nearly a decade. Its final performance, a disastrous competition loss that fractured friendships and families alike, still lingers like an unresolved chord.

Enter Elias Rowe, a once-celebrated conductor who walked away from a glittering career after a very public meltdown at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall. Disgraced and directionless, Elias arrives in Harrow’s End to settle his late mother’s affairs—only to discover her most cherished possession: a weathered folder of choral arrangements marked “For When They Sing Again.”

After a powerful earthquake, Catalina returns to her old family home to help her father, Domingo, sell the property following the sudden death of her uncle Héctor. Between them unfolds a space of mourning and reconciliation, marked by unresolved guilt and inherited silences. In their forced coexistence, cracks begin to reveal the shadow of Héctor —an absent figure who never truly left. Replicas is a drama of mystery and memory, where both seismic and human aftershocks threaten to bring down what little still stands.
