Isadora and Enrique are an elderly couple living in a large comfortable apartment in Santiago with their two old cats. The bane in their life is their highly strung daughter Rosario and her butch girlfriend Beatrice (who insists on being called Hugo) who want them to bankroll their latest hare-brained money-making scheme. However Isadora who has always been somewhat of a cold fish, is in the early throes of Alzheimer's and she does something quite unexpected, and everything changes.
This enchanting and engaging movie was written and directed by Sebastian Silva and Pedro Peltrano, the talented pair of Chilean filmmakers who bought us the Award Winning delightful hit 'The Maid' and for some unknown reason has been sitting away on a distributors shelf since its Sundance Premiere in 2011. They like to use many of the same actors, and the rather wonderful Catalina Saavedra who took the title role in 'The Maid' puts in another fine performance playing Hugo.
