[edit] Plot
The film tells of Ariel Perelman (Daniel Hendler), an attorney who lives in Buenos Aires and teaches law at a university. He has an easy going lifestyle.
His father, Bernardo Perelman (Arturo Goetz), is a more sucessfull and popular public defender who meets his clients where they work or in restaurants so he can determine what they are "all about" in an informal setting. Most of his clients are poor. He's very close to his secretary (Adriana Aizemberg) since his wife passed away.
Work fills Bernardo's days, and Ariel is astonished by his energy.
After lusting after Sandra (Julieta Díaz), an attactive woman who takes his class, Ariel marries her. She starts teaching pilates in their apartment.
They have a son, Gaston (Eloy Burman), who turns out a quite charming young boy.
Ariel's office building is shut down for a month, and he is given some time off, but he doesn't share this news with his wife.
Asked at school to participate in a program, Ariel rebels but gives in.
