Synopsis: When their last child leaves home, a middle-aged couple suddenly finds itself alone for the first time in years. While the husband tackles the empty-nest syndrome with vivid fantasies, his wife throws herself into a whirlwind of activities. Cultured, prosperous, blessed with three children and many friends, Leonardo (Oscar Martínez) and Martha (Cecilia Roth) are a truly enviable example of the species "married couple." Leonardo is an author of considerable repute; Martha, a hyperactive housewife with academic interests. Leonardo sits back and observes; Martha forges ahead and acts. An enviable couple? They both begin to question their happiness when Julia (Inés Efron), their youngest, marries and leaves Buenos Aires.
