Marso, a lonely, eccentric painter and art professor, is losing his sight. As the world he knew comes to an end, he is now forced to re-examine an existence filled with professional successes but unsatisfying personal relationships. With an impeccable performance by Daniel Lugo as Marso, COWS WEARING GLASSES is a reflexive tale of a man facing the inevitable.
