Agridulce is a poignant journey through the lives of four Dominican children who strive to master their musical heritage.

 

In the town of Cabarete, where bachata music is a way of life, the young musicians come of age under challenging circumstances. Generations collide, migrants struggle to assimilate and children to understand their troubled world.  At the heart of their story, La Academia de Bachata reclaims bachata from its marginalized past. Agridulce is a testament to the power of the arts to resolve the paradoxes of the human condition.
