El alma del mundo
On the afternoon that Otto and Clea arrive in the Buenavista retirement home, no one can imagine that what these two elderly people bring with them is more than the weight of two lives worn by time and age. Not even Ilona, the young carer who spends her days with them, has an idea what those three months with them will mean for her life. Three months and three souls united, first by companionship and later by affection. And a cello. And two elderly people rebelling against boredom like children determined to always choose, danger, life and truth. And a young woman who is hiding many things and fears that her secret will be too much for her.
This is the story of a great love and also the great story of love: love of music, of life, of the last chance two courageous elderly people invent to heighten their emotions and to attain something they had neverr dared to be.
