[edit] Plot
The story tells of Jorge (Ricardo Darín), a well-known writer, who's spent a lot of money. So he writes short love stories in a magazine for young people in order to make money.
One day he meets Laura (Soledad Villamil) and they fall in love and marry. However, life is hard during the next twenty years. We see how they manage to survive in the difficult days they spend in Argentina.
The marriage is an apt description of his life. Once full of promise as a writer, Jorge falls victim to a slow poisoning of his morals and his heart, brought on by the corruption and political upheavals visited upon Argentina during the twenty years the film covers.

The film is the first of a trilogy that follows protagonist (Ricardo Darín) and his best friend (Eduardo Blanco) through a series of reevaluations regarding their lives. The films include: El hijo de la novia (2001) and Luna de Avellaneda (2004).
