The Freshly Cut Grass is a drama film by Celina Murga.
A male professor at the university is in conflict with his own roles as husband, father and teacher. The eventual relationship with a female student highlights his crisis. As in a mirror, a female professor, also in crisis, has an eventual relationship with a male student. The duplicate story questions the power relations between genders. How do a woman and a man react to the same situation? How does the environment respond?
