Language Lessons (2021)
For his 45th birthday, wealthy Californian Adam (Mark Duplass) receives a surprise gift from his choreographer partner: 100 weekly Spanish lessons with Cario (Natalie Morales), a vivacious expat who teaches virtually from her home in Costa Rica. Adam's unconvinced at first; a self-described creature-of-habit, he's unsure about where or how this new element will fit into his carefully-structured routine. But after unexpected events turn his life upside down, Cario becomes a lifeline he didn't know he needed, and a complicated emotional bond develops..
