Marcelo is a Philosophy professor who has devoted his entire life to teaching. When his mentor dies unexpectedly, he firmly believes the seat of the Department belongs to him. Alas, his plans are sidelined when a younger colleague appears as a contender, due to his reputation and innate social skills. One of the finest representatives of contemporary Latin-American cinema, and an upcoming filmmaker from Argentina, join forces in a mature situational comedy for demanding audiences, balancing unpredictable humor with social critique and the aura of auterism with the popular cinema of Argentina. Th.K.
