Based on the novel "La tía Julia y el escribidor", by Mario Vargas Llosa (1st ed. 1977).
A young aspiring writer has an affair with an older woman; he works in a radio station and befriends the author of its radio melodramas.
The comicity of the Carmichael subplot relieves the dullness of the romantic plot, but in the process renders either subplot superficial. That being said, no film, especially when it is this elegantly written and put together, may be readily dismissed. What one calls entertainment is actually something of some consequence.
