This is a beautiful documentary about 'The Cinephiles', a group of retired women from Spain, Uruguay and Argentina who go to the cinema every day. For them, films are not only a support, but also a safe and recurrent event in the days that go by and the cinema is a place where they can ease their loneliness and forget the passage of time.
Like a drop of water, fiction slaps their lives, leaving a trace on their memory. A tender debut about the timeless stuff that dreams are made of, and about cinema as a ritual that transgresses solitude.
