Synopsis Martin is a restless philosophy teacher. He's tired of teaching and can't get to work on the book he's hoping to write. He's also disturbed by the happiness of his ex-wife. Martin's crisis takes a turn when he meets Cecilia, a young woman suspected of driving an artist to his death. To his surprise, Martin develops a sexual rapport with the far-from-intellectual Cecilia. He claims he's bored, yet continues to see her. He is irritated but fascinated by Cecilia's uncomplicated attitudes toward love, life and sex. His ex-wife becomes a reluctant confidant and privileged spectator of the passion which slowly undermines Martin's certainties. Festival selections |
