Description

Argentine filmmaker Daniel Burman (Lost Embrace & Family Law) weaves a warm and funny portrait of a couple who face what many couples must: what to do when the children leave home. Leonardo (Oscar Martinez) is a successful playwright, and Martha (Cecilia Roth from All About My Mother) a housewife with academic interests. When their youngest daughter marries and leaves Buenos Aires to live in Israel with her husband, suddenly they are faced with those little annoyances and grievances that build over the years. Martha throws herself into a frenzy of activity, returning to university and new faces, while Leonardo takes refuge in fantasies that become so real he can't distinguish them from reality. Burman depicts mid-life crisis with both humor and compassion, demonstrating how dreams move in to help us cope with (or avoid) the changes with which life confronts us. In Spanish with English subtitles. With Arturo Goetz, Inés Efron. Writer/Director: Daniel Burman. (Argentina 2008) 92 min.
