Five stories blend with love, sex, the emptiness of being unloved, passion and desire: Carlos and Susana go to some uncle´s apartment to make love. Meanwhile, Benito, an 80-year-old, performs a serenade to his wife. His neighbor Adela is told that her mother has Alzheimer and that she will be relocated since the Buenos Aires building she lives in will be demolished. Amado catches his son Carlos stealing his money. Gabriel asks Martha´s parents for her hand in marriage but they condition them to get married at their favorite church. And Patricia, 40, a creative agent, sexually abuses Joel, who directs a beer commercial.
Summary
In "Amar," five interconnected stories weave a tapestry of love, lust, and longing in Buenos Aires. Carlos and Susana sneak away to a relative's apartment for a passionate encounter, while 80-year-old Benito croons a serenade to his wife from their balcony. Meanwhile, Adela receives heartbreaking news: her mother has Alzheimer's and she'll be relocated when their building is demolished. Amado confronts Carlos after catching him stealing money, unaware that his son's actions are fueled by unrequited love for Martha. Gabriel navigates cultural differences as he seeks Martha's parents' blessing for marriage, agreeing to their church wedding demand. At the agency, Patricia, a 40-year-old creative agent, exploits Joel, the beer commercial director, for her own desires. Each character searches for love but finds only heartache and missed connections, echoing the city's dynamic energy yet leaving them yearning for more.
