When he was a boy, Toño was sent away from home by his family and forced to abandon the small town in southern Bolivia where he had been born and raised. Many years later, he decides to undertake a long journey to return to his origins. But once he arrives, he discovers that his family’s situation has changed radically: his adoptive father suffers from a disease that prevents him from talking, while Ana, with whom he grew up and who was his first love, is now the mother of a 9-year-old boy she is bringing up on her own.

 

“With silent characters, recurring dreams, long walks through the countryside, childhood friends with almost nothing in common, Los viejos is a film about absence and loneliness, banishment and abrupt separations, and above all, it is a story about the attempt to reconcile with the past.”
