Marcelo has devoted his life to teaching at the Faculty of Philosophy. When Professor Caselli, his mentor, dies unexpectedly, Marcelo expects to inherit the Department´s kingdom. However his plans turn upside down with the unexpected arrival of Rafael Sujarchuk, a charismatic and seductive colleague, who returns from his pedestal in European universities to claim the philosophy Department for himself. Marcelo's clumsy efforts to prove that he is the right candidate will trigger a hilarious philosophical duel, while his life - and the country - enter a spiral of chaos.

Reviews

n ‘Puan’ there is activism, awarness, and ridicule, but also emotions and tenderness, with two incredible actors (...) it shows that (...) humour is a valuable political tool in a crisis moment such as this. (Pepa Blandes: Cadena SER)
