Synopsis

The married couple between Viena, a theatre director, and Daniel, a doctor at a geriatric centre, is in crisis. They love each other, but they cannot stand one another. They both hang on to their respective jobs to fill the impertinent void that accompanies them. Their worlds are antagonistic, their needs, different... Or maybe not: we are all searching for the same thing. This is a story that talks about shared loneliness, imperfect love, unsatisfied desires and promises which we do not know how long they will last, but that become a good pretext to live...despite everything else.
