The latest from Academy Award®-winning director Juan José Campanella (THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES) is a pitch-perfect black comedy with an all-star cast. Four veterans of Argentinian cinema — a beautiful star who has brains to match her beauty (Graciela Borges, LA CIÉNAGA), her actor husband who has taken to painting in the twilight of his life (Luis Brandoni, WAITING FOR THE HEARSE), a devious and witty screenwriter (Marcos Mundstock, 2004's ROMA) and a cunning director (Oscar Martínez, WILD TALES) — are content living together in a mansion in the country, reminiscing about the past and reflecting on their golden years. That is, until the arrival of an unscrupulous young couple seeking to buy the property throws a wrench into their idyllic retirements. But the venerable quartet is a force to be reckoned with, prepared to employ every trick in the book to thwart the sale of their beloved estate. (Note adapted from Latido Films.)
