Language Lessons
Language Lessons is a 2021 American screenlife drama film directed by Natalie Morales (in her directorial debut) and written by Morales and Mark Duplass. The film stars Morales, Duplass and Desean Terry.
The film follows the unexpected friendship that develops between Adam, a man whose husband surprises him with online Spanish lessons, and his teacher, Cariño.
The film had its worldwide premiere at the 71st Berlin International Film Festival on March 1, 2021. It was released on September 10, 2021, by Shout! Studios.
Spanish instructor Cariño logs on for an online lesson with a student and is surprised to discover her student, Adam, was unaware of the lesson. To their surprise they learn that Adam's husband Will, who was raised in various countries in Latin America, purchased the lesson as a surprise to help him brush up on his Spanish.
Adam is further surprised to learn that Will signed him up for 100 lessons. Despite some awkwardness, he goes along with the lesson. Cariño learns that, through his marriage to Will, Adam is extremely wealthy. He decides to continue with the lessons, promising to return in a week.
Cariño logs on for their second lesson and finds Adam still in bed. He reveals that Will died the night before, having been hit by a car while jogging; Adam has not told anyone else about what happened. When Adam begins to panic Cariño helps to calm him down by showing him the gardens near where she lives, eventually lulling him to sleep. Cariño continues to reach out, sending video messages and offering a homework assignment and self-care tips. At first, Adam declines the assignment as he is still in grief but gradually he takes it up and resolves to continue learning.
For their third lesson, Cariño’s video appears not to be working due to poor Internet reception. They chat about Will’s passing and Adam reveals that, prior to their relationship, he had been married to a woman and in denial about being gay. During their discussion, Cariño accidentally turns her camera on, revealing her badly bruised face. She claims the bruises came from falling off her bike and becomes offended when Adam offers to buy her a new one. He later records a message, apologizing for making her uncomfortable but also revealing that he knows her bike story is a lie.
At the start of their fourth lesson, Adam asks how Cariño is doing, but she gets straight into the lesson, wanting to work on his grammar. Adam prefers that they talk candidly as they have in the past, but Cariño insists, wanting to maintain a professional relationship. He asks why she didn’t respond to his earlier messages, and she defensively replies that she just forgot to.
