Ernesto (Darío Grandinetti) is a middle-aged journalist based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. When he attends a reunion of old friends -- all former radicals like himself -- he is plunged into a midlife crisis. Particularly problematic is his discovery that his first love (Soledad Silveyra), whom he has not seen in decades, wound up marrying one of his friends (Juan Leyrado). The old friends discuss memories from their exciting youth as they grapple with the growing banality of middle age.

Audience Member No es lo mejor de Subiela, pero zafa Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Me quede encantado con este film. El cuento fue profundo bastante nostalgico; un testamento a la vida y a la importancia vivir con los ojos por delante. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Nostalgischer Film.
