It's never too late to begin again.

Drama

In Buenos Aires, a few days before traveling to Spain with his beloved wife Liliana Rovira to visit their son Pedro, the leftist Literature professor Fernando Robles is compulsory retired in the University, and he concludes that it is impossible to live with his pension. The crisis in Argentina does not allow Fernando to get a new job, and his wife decides to sell her family's apartment and move to a small farm near Villa Dolores to reduce their expenses. Fernando comes up with the idea to grow lavender and sell the oil to the perfume industry.

VIBE

A quiet, contemplative drama about finding purpose and connection in later life. It feels warm and grounded, like a gentle embrace, exploring the quiet dignity of ordinary people facing change.
