PUAN
SYNOPSIS
Philosophy lecturer Marcelo, of the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Buenos Aires, known as “Puan”, sees his life suddenly turned upside down by the death of his mentor, Professor Caselli. He expects to inherit Caselli’s chair, until challenged by a charismatic, seductive contender, Rafael Sujarchuk, just back from a high post at a university in Europe. As the two battle for the professorship, Marcelo’s life – and Argentina – spiral into chaos.
