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.
