María Alché , Benjamín Naishtat
Marcelo a consacré sa vie à l’enseignement de la philosophie à l’Université publique. Lorsque son mentor, le professeur Caselli, meurt inopinément, il espère devenir le nouveau chef du département. Cependant, ses plans changent lorsque Rafael, un collègue charismatique et séduisant, revient de son piédestal dans les universités européennes pour réclamer le poste vacant pour lui-même. Les efforts maladroits de Marcelo pour prouver qu’il est le bon candidat vont déclencher un duel philosophique, tandis que sa vie – et le pays – entrent dans une spirale de chaos.
