A Belmonte, interesado en retratar al ser humano, sus pliegues, su desmesura, se le acerca una muestra de pintura en el Museo de Artes Visuales de Montevideo, pero él está más ocupado pensando en los cambios que vive su familia: su ex mujer está embarazada, fruto de la relación que mantiene con otro hombre, y percibe que su hija, Celeste, pasará menos tiempo con él cuando nazca su hermano. Belmonte necesita la brújula que le supone estar con su hija, preparar su almuerzo, acompañarla a la escuela y, sobre todo, comenzar a compartir con ella su mundo interior sin esconder las preocupaciones, aunque sean propias de un adulto.

To grow old in Rivera is to grow old on the border. The protagonists of this documentary tell us in Portuguese as well as in Spanish about their lives far from the bustle of the capital city. Their days are long, their work is hard, they have few opportunities to improve their situation, but they still haven't lost the ability to smile or their love of life. The aim of this documentary is to show what the process of growing old in Uruguay is like, and to raise people's awareness about the situation of the elderly. It shows, without prejudice, just what old age is.
