In Argentina, a land once prosperous and grand,
Where fortunes were sought, both in New York and in land.
A nation of diversity, a melting pot of souls,
Where Europeans flocked to make their future whole.
A comedy, Lost Embrace, in 2004 released,
A tale of identity, and the complexities it's blessed.
A young man named Ariel, his heritage a mix,
Jewish, Polish, Argentine, in this Buenos Aires fix.
His family's store, a lingerie shop in the mall,
Surrounded by the world, in this global sprawl.
A mix of cultures, a mix of dreams,
A mix of identities, in the hearts it seems.
His father returns, from the Yom Kippur War,
A search for roots, a search to share.
A chance to leave this land, to Europe's prosperity,
To claim a Polish past, a future to guarantee.
But what's a man to do, when identity's a jumble?
When home is a mix, a place no one can stumble.
A search for self, in a global maze,
A search for roots, in a land of many a race.
Lost Embrace, a film of missed potential,
A search for meaning, a search for mental.
A Woody Allen feel, but with Argentine flair,
But in the end, just a film that's fair.
With moments of beauty, of Yiddish song,
And a cast of characters, where the stories belong.
A film of identity, of roots to find,
A film that's watchable, but not much more we can say.
For in the end, it's a story of our time,
A search for self, in a global climb.
In Argentina, in New York, it's the same old tale,
A mix of cultures, a mix of fate.
So let us learn, from this film, this tale,
That identity's a mix, a mix that's fair.
A mix of past and future, of roots and of dreams,
A mix of who we are, in these multi-ethnic streams.
