An Unexpected Love

Marcos and Ana have been married for 25 years. Their son recently left home to study at university on the other side of the world. One day, they experience an existential crisis and decide to separate. The chance of a single life after so many years of marriage seems at first like a fascinating opportunity for a new beginning, but eventually, it becomes too monotonous for Ana, and nightmarish for Marco. Ricardo Darín and Mercedes Moran, the biggest stars of Argentinian film, give extraordinary, simultaneously deep and lighthearted, performances in this dramatic comedy that scrutinizes the essence of long-term relationships. An Unexpected Love’s international debut opened the 66th San Sebastian Film Festival.
