Camino de la suerte
After the death of his wife after a long illness, Joaquín (Tito Valverde) decides to leave the city and take refuge in the small town where he was born. Seventy-five years old and with loneliness as his new and only companion in life, he can only wait for his turn. Poli, his best friend in the village, refuses to let him fall into his own abandonment: he has made a list of single women in the village to meet them and see if something comes up. Joaquín takes him for a madman and rejects his proposal completely. But Poli does not give up and ambushes him to learn that love has no wrinkles.
