Plot
Through seemingly trivial conversations among a group of young women, the tedium and emptiness of their lives is revealed. The plot centers on the arrival of Pablo Klein to the city to teach German at the university, as his personality conflicts with the flat and conformist atmosphere that encloses the lives of the young women.
