“2009 starts with a blue glow.”
The Blue Splendor, a band from Valparaíso, Chile; defined an era in the 60's with their particular, unique style. After four decades, they're still active. Old fans are joined by newer younger bands that tribute their music and rock 'n' roll attitude. The mixture of two eras joined by one music band are captured by Manuel González, who manages to stop time in Valparaíso to tell us the story of the iconic group, their adventures, anecdotes, legacy, and their will to stand still, before time does its thing and takes them away forever.

The Beatles stormed through Europe's music scene in 1963, and, in 1964, they conquered America. Their groundbreaking world tours changed global youth culture forever and, arguably, invented mass entertainment as we know it today. All the while, the group were composing and recording a series of extraordinarily successful singles and albums. However the relentless pressure of such unprecedented fame, that in 1966 became uncontrollable turmoil, led to the decision to stop touring. In the ensuing years The Beatles were then free to focus on a series of albums that changed the face of recorded music.
