Common Ground (VHS)
Acclaimed director Adolfo Aristarain`s COMMON GROUND provides a compelling mix of family drama and biting social commentary. When his university suggests that aging Literature professor Fernando Robles (Federico Luppi) retire, they intend it as more than mere suggestion. The downward-spiraling economy plaguing Argentina in the early 21st century caused mass unemployment, and the middle-class could not count themselves as secure in their economic status. Fernando and his wife Lili (Mercedes Sampietro) confront this reality pragmatically, but the stress and conflict greatly test their marriage. The family`s economic worries also take their toll on Fernando`s relationship with his son Pedro (Pablo Rago). Though Fernando refuses assistance, he resents his son for moving away from Argentina when it most needs resourceful citizens. The drastic changes that Fernando and Lili must make resonate universally, and illustrate the difficult balance struck between government, industry, and individual well-being.NR"
