This documentary takes us to the three most important festivals of the year in Aceguá, and thus tells the story of the town.

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.

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.

Baltasar Brum is a town of three thousand souls in the department of Artigas.

The documentary shows how carnival is celebrated in this Uruguayan border town.
