Vida de lago

It is the last summer in the house by the lake, where the Sterling family met during the holidays. Richard and Lisa, to the amazement of their children, Michael and Thad, have decided to sell it. They are going to retire and move to Florida. It is the first strange sign; They, who were hippies and are now professors at the prestigious Cornell University, plan a nondescript and conventional retirement. Something is wrong under the limpid everyday surface and it seems to start to emerge... but no one imagined what would happen next. An accident on the beach leads to a tragedy; a death that invokes another, hidden for decades. That secret wound is still open; it reveals a traumatic past and illuminates the present with merciless light. Michael's alcoholism, who has always refused to have children, and now, with his pregnant wife Diana, is on the verge of divorce; the life without destiny of Thad, who aspires to be a poet and lives off Jake, his boyfriend; the guilty silences of Richard and Lisa. Infidelities, love failures, postponed projects. In a decisive weekend, what each one believed to be has been called into question.
