Twenty-eight-year-old Kansas University doctoral student Omar Razaghi (Omar Metwally) has been awarded a grant to write the biography of Latin American writer Jules Gund. When Gund's estate unexpectedly denies Omar authorisation, Omar is urged by his girlfriend to travel to Uruguay and petition the executors to change their minds. The Gund "family", living together on the author's isolated and decaying estate, includes Gund's widow (Laura Linney), his mistress (Charlotte Gainsbourg), her young daughter, Gund's brother (Anthony Hopkins) and his partner (Hiroyuki Sanada)
