Synopsis
One year after the death of his wife Maruja, Lino Catalá, a serious and formal old man, is approached by Larry Po, another quirky old man with multiple personalities. Larry confesses to Lino that his late wife, Maruja, led a double life: an ordinary housewife by day, and an imposing bolero singer by night. From this moment on, the two old men join in a meticulous search in Maruja's past, while trying to find the whereabouts of Esther Rodenas, the great love of Larry's life. While they follow the trail of the women they loved, a friendship arises between them that transforms them in a definitive way and that shows them that life does not end in old age.
