Por Si No Te Vuelvo a Ver

Summary: Not ready for the nursing home
Review: The editorial from the Back Cover sums up th basic plot for this well done movie. Although there are five eldery men in the nursing home, Bruno, played by Jorge Galvan is the main character. He is a sentimental sort who has a special place in his heart for Rosita. Rosita is an aged singer in the nursing home who sang with Bruno as he played the piano. Rosita dies and her death is the impetus for the story line to develop. It seems Rosita wanted her ashes delivered to Tijuana for a final resting place and Bruno wants to make her wish come true. He escapes on a stolen maintenance workers bike from the nursing home and the adventure begins. He goes looking for Margarita who is supposed to take the ashes. He hunts her down to her work which is a cabaret and more fun develops in the story. She dreams of Australia and following an old lover. The other gentlemen escape after seeing a most wanted image of Bruno on TV. They hook up with Bruno and then they really get involved with the wrong people. They are given new instrument cases which prove to have more than instruments inside. In the end all ends well and dreams are achieved and new ambitions realized. It is a good movie with a bit of the flavor of the American movies about old guys with Walter Mathau and Jack Lemmon. Incidently ,this movie was the vehicle for a Best Actor for Jorge Galvan(also featured in the "Fibra Optica" and "El Pais Donde Pasa Nada") and Leticia Huijara for Best Actress in the Mexican Oscar equivalent Ariel. Recommended for a light hearted look at aging and resisting societies barriers. The antics of these old guys will surely make you laugh and that alone is priceless.
