A fleet-footed if sharply pointed existential-crisis comedy... that finds wit and wisdom in the last place on earth one might expect to find either: a university philosophy department.

Prescience aside, Puan is surprisingly moving in its portrait of a man who’s endlessly told that his frame of reference within a field of study that’s occupied his entire life is a static, self-made intellectual mausoleum.

An Argentine comedy that portrays the disenchantment of a philosophy professor who, after an idealistic youth, struggles to survive in a precarious academic world. His struggle intensifies when he reunites with a former colleague who seems to embody success in every aspect of life. A comedy that exposes the shortcomings of the public education system in Argentina.
