<Synopsis>

 

Ernesto, a seventy-eight-year-old Uruguayan photographer living in Brazil, faces the

limitations of old age, such as loneliness and growing blindness, which he thinks he can disguise.

When Ernesto became a widower, he learned that aging is about filling the

silences with a spinning record, with the calls from his son who lives far away, with the bank

errands to withdraw his pension, with his neighbor Javier’s flying visits, with the wait for a

new letter from Lucía. However, Bia, a careless dog carer, storms into his life and upsets his

methodical daily life. And Ernesto realizes that aging can be about rejuvenating with the

intense company of a girl who is not even thirty years old. And that life and love are

possible even for those who are almost eighty.
