Storia
David Kepesh, a cultural critic and professor of literature, is introduced as an 'emancipated man' until he meets Consuela Castillo, a well-mannered student who awakens sexual possessiveness in him. David sets out to seduce the 24-year-old Cuban woman but finds himself developing deeper feelings for her. As their relationship progresses, Consuela presses David to define what he wants from her. Meanwhile, David confides in his friend George about his feelings and is advised to 'grow up and grow old.' Consuela invites David to meet her family, and his own son confronts him about their relationship. Throughout this time, David grapples with the possibility of an elegy for lost relationships, possibilities, beauty, and time.
