The complicated love lives of a circle of old friends approaching middle-age intersect and entangle at a Buenos Aires café, when the sudden suicide of a friend pulls the group back together in this warm and breezy evocation of a city where love is in the air and around every corner.

Seductive, smart and Latin to the core, this impressive debut brims with characters and relationships observed with an intelligence and perceptiveness that pays off in a number of poignant moments, always with a light touch and infectious effortlessness that's echoed in the stunning tango and jazz soundtrack that the film occasionally lingers on in remarkable performance scenes. At the center of the film is a love triangle involving Sergio, Marco and Valeria, the woman that both men dated even while the three were the closest of friends. Their complex relationship is renewed by the suicide of the fourth member of their group, Sebastián. The three friends (each portrayed brilliantly; the film's performances are one of its greatest pleasures) are each at the end of a relationship and contemplate finding themselves alone at an age when many are settling down, while carefully trying to balance as best they can their close friendships with their growing attractions. They gather at a neighborhood café and talk about their past and current loves in beautifully-told anecdotes that punctuate the film and capture not only the fleeting, bittersweet nature of love affairs, but also the chance encounters and odd coincidences that typify the daily rhythms of life in a large city.
