«Tal vez no quer a solamente un coraz n ajeno para seguir viviendo, sino tambi n un coraz n ajeno para empezar una segunda vida .

El sacerdote Luis C rdoba est a la espera de un trasplante de coraz n. Es un cura amable, alto, gordo, pero su mismo tama o hace que no sea f cil encontrar un donante. Como los m dicos le aconsejan reposo y su residencia tiene muchas escaleras, recibe hospedaje en una casa donde viven dos mujeres, una de ellas reci n separada, y tres ni os.

C rdoba, que es bueno y culto --cr tico de cine y experto en pera--, goza compartiendo lo que sabe con las mujeres sin esposo y los ni os sin padre. Pronto se ve envuelto y fascinado por la vida familiar y, sin pretenderlo, empieza a desempe ar el papel de paterfamilias y a replantearse sus opciones de vida. Salvo mi coraz n, todo est bien es la historia de un sacerdote bondadoso --inspirado en un cura real-- que pone a prueba sus creencias y su optimismo inquebrantable en un mundo hostil. Su crisis existencial, en medio de personajes llenos de ganas de vivir, nos muestra una visi n del matrimonio como una fortaleza sitiada: los que est n dentro quieren salir, y los que est n fuera quieren entrar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Maybe he didn't want someone else's heart merely to keep living, but to have someone else's heart to start a second life."

Priest Luis C rdoba is waiting for a heart transplant. He is a tall, fat, kind priest, but his very size makes it difficult to find a donor. Since doctors advise rest and his residence has many stairs, he is accommodated at a house where two women, one of them recently separated, and three children live.

C rdoba is a good and knowledgeable man, film critic and opera expert, who enjoys sharing what he knows with the husbandless women and the fatherless children. Soon he becomes entangled and fascinated by family life, and unintentionally begins to act as paterfamilias and reconsider his options. Aside from My Heart, All Is Well is the story of a good-natured priest--based on a real clergyman--that puts his believes and his unbreakable optimism to the test in a hostile world. His existential crisis, surrounded by characters with a zest for life, shows us a vision of matrimony as a fortress under siege: those inside want out, and the ones outside want in.
