LUGARES COMUNES

Fernando Robles is a university professor from Buenos Aires. He's in his sixties, and he's married with Liliana Rovira, a Spanish woman of Catalan parents, who is a social worker. They love each other, they respect each other, they are loyal to each other. They never get bored being together, they like to be alone. They know each other, they accept each other, they argue without hate, they have fun. They're lovers, partners, friends, associates. None of them conceived life without the other. But the world of calm and thoughtful Fernando is profoundly altered when he receives unannounced official communication in which he's reported his forced retirement, a fact that will change his life.
