Elegy 2008

David (Ben Kingsley), who is over sixty years old, is a prestigious local cultural commentator. At the same time, as a university professor, he never had sex with female students before grading class assignments to avoid being accused of sexual harassment. David is pretentious about relationships, and his close friend in his current life is a female student from 20 years ago. However, the situation changed since he met 24-year-old Consuela (Penelope Cruz). He loved what her youth and body symbolized, she was just like the perfect body in the painting. But he couldn't believe that he could have her forever. He thought that there would always be a younger and better man to take her away. So every time Consuela invited him to meet her relatives and friends, David always refused and refused to enter her life. When Consuela expressed her hope that he would attend her graduation ceremony, David agreed, but his refusal at the last moment left Consuela heartbroken. She left for two years. Within two years, David faced the sadness of a close friend and the death of an old friend. When Consuela reappeared in his life, it brought about an even bigger surprise.
