Director: Santiago Requejo
España/Ficción/98 min/2019

Isidro Hernández (Carlos Iglesias) is a 59-year-old grandfather who was expelled from the labor market by the crisis. After two years without receiving job offers, he comes to the conclusion that the only way to work again and feel useful is to set up his own business. But what can someone of his age undertake, whom society simply relegates to caring for his grandchildren? The answer is clear: with the help of Arturo, a successful writer of romantic novels, and Desiderio, a retiree who wants to be a grandfather, they will embark on an ambitious project.

In these times filled with pessimism, Abuelos arrives to change everything with a very human and real story full of freshness and optimism. It is a heartfelt and powerfully emotional film with three exceptional actors of great charisma. When your last option is the hope and passion for a dream that has come into your life late, you only have to fight. When experience no longer counts, entrepreneurship is the path!
