Los estados carenciales

Ulises's wife, Penélope, a fashion designer, has left him, and he brings up their boy Telémaco by himself. Her father, Vili, tormented at home by his own wife, refuses to despair and founds a new Academy, where he means to teach a handful of unhappy pupils the Platonic idea that virtue is the road to contentment. Around them, a whole cast struggles against boredom and second-rate lives, in a comedy that pokes fun at self-help and borrows its names from Homer.
