Argentina - 83'

Pedro and Sol have just finished school and summer vacation begins. While some of their friends have to retake some subjects, Pedro and Sol spend their free time gradually approaching tasks that may one day become their professions. Sol uses her piano classes to review old recordings from when she was a child and prepares for an exam at the music conservatory. Pedro starts a writing workshop without telling anyone. Meanwhile, he takes care of the house because his parents are traveling and receives a visit from his older brother and his partner. During these days spent with other young people and adults who have just ceased to be young, Pedro and Sol observe, attentive.
