Marriage is a hard work. It involves commitment, constant negotiation and putting up with your spouse's friends. Burman's superbly imaginative and entertaining film is a comedic look at the problems inherent in married life. Cultured, prosperous, blessed with three children and many friends, Leonardo and Martha are a truly enviable example of the species known as "married couple." They both begin to question their happiness when Julia, their youngest, marries and leaves Buenos Aires. Their house is empty and their children are scattered all over the world. Martha seeks release by going back to the university and surrounding herself with people. Leonardo takes refuge in fantasies that become so real that he can't distinguish them from reality.
