Disenchanted and skeptical about the world, a retired professor shut into his appartment for 20 years whittles away his days by systematically insulting and complaining over the phone to all who have ever offended him in the past.

Synopsis

Pablo, a 70-year-old retired professor, has shut himself away in his apartment since the day his wife was killed in a terrorist attack 20 years ago. Disenchanted and skeptical about the world, he whittles away his days by systematically insulting and complaining over the phone to all who have ever offended him in the past.

Felipe, his son and father of a newborn, confronts the world with fear and hopelessness as he struggles to get by without a job in an unstable world. Meanwhile, the world itself waits for its own end—an end before the end is coming.
