Fred is 78 years old and a recent widower. Elsa says she is younger, but then again, Elsa says many things. However, she is bound and determined to change Fred. Elsa…does not reveal much.

Mexico / 2008 / 98 min.

Genre: Comedy

This comedy captures the adventure of Chano (Jorge Lavat), a retired 70-year-old man who decides, after mixed recommendations from his family, to enroll at the historic University of Guanajuato. His presence, initially quite surprising, has an impact on his classmates and eventually breaches the generational gap. Chano gives his college classmates advice, at times even by force and in the process learns a few lessons along the way.
