Synopsis

Old Friends

 

 Freedom is a state of mind...

 

Carlos, José and Matias are three old friends who have known each other since childhood. José lives with his daughter, his son in law and his nine-year-old grandson Pedro. Being a grandfather is his only true source of happiness. Carlos is retired and spends most of his days tinkering. Matias, on the other hand, is a widower and lives alone and abandoned, as his son is living abroad. Each of them has a strong and contentious character of their own, but they are all joined by a deep friendship.

When José is sent to a retirement home, Carlos and Matias set a plan to bust him out. They sneak into the retirement home and take him away from that depressing environment in which he was discarded.  They know that they can’t come back home, so they decide to spend a while in Matias’ house up north. But, in the middle of their escape, they find José’s grandson snuck in there. Pedro doesn't want to leave his grandpa and insists on accompanying them in their journey.

Carlos Rodrigues

Orlando Costa
He had a life of adventure, but they're no more than memories now. Carlos was in the military and his fearless personality led him to emigrate to the colonies when he was still young. Over there, he met his wife, got married and established himself as a businessman by opening an auto workshop and making money. The decolonization caught him off guard and he returned to Lisbon destitute. His wife left him for a younger man and he never recovered from it, living with the pain of abandonment.
