Elegy

A professor who avoids serious relationships falls in love with his student. A drama starring Ben Kingsley and Penélope Cruz.

An aging literature professor believes his life is ruled by intellect and self-control — until a young student, Consuela, enters his world, brimming with more life than he can handle. He’s a lonely playboy who took the slogans of the sexual revolution literally, leaving behind his wife and children for carefree pleasure. She’s the only daughter of a devout Cuban immigrant family. Their affair begins as yet another display of his power — but soon, the balance of control shifts completely.
