- EXTENDED SYNOPSIS
La irrupción del periodista Manuel Cueto en la vida del escritor Joaquín Góñez,a instancias de la editorial para la que Joaquín está escribiendo su últimolibro, provocará un desasosiego en la solitaria vida del escritor, aislado delmundo y huidizo de sus propios recuerdos. Acostumbrado a la soledad de losúltimos años, el encuentro con el joven periodista le despertará emocionesolvidadas que le transportarán a las décadas de los cincuenta y sesenta, enpos de su niñez y sus locos años de juventud vividos en Buenos Aires. Loserrores propios de quien comienza a experimentarlo todo en la vida; el recuerdode los amigos; la importancia de la lealtad; la influencia del cine y el jazz;el sabor del primer amor y la experiencia de otros muchos; y la íntima relaciónque guardó con sus padres y, en especial, con su madre, Roma, una mujerinteligente, fuerte, comprensiva y comprometida con los ideales de juventud desu hijo le llevarán a reflexionar sobre la influencia de la confianza que sumadre depositó en él en su juventud. A ella, sin duda, Joaquín le debe el habersido siempre un espíritu libre, bohemio, fiel a sí mismo y a los ideales quejuntos, un día, al calor de la memoria del padre, soñaron. Y es precisamente elrecuerdo imborrable de Roma el que despertará en Joaquín el deseo y laimpaciencia por recuperar todo lo que hasta ese momento creía perdido.
