Freedom is a state of mind...

Carlos, José and Matias are three old friends who have known each other since childhood. José lives with his daughter, his son in law and his nine-year-old grandson Pedro. Being a grandfather is his only true source of happiness. Carlos is retired and spends most of his days tinkering. Matias, on the other hand, is a widower and lives alone and abandoned, as his son is living abroad. Each of them has a strong and contentious character of their own, but they are all joined by a deep friendship. When José is sent to a retirement home, Carlos and Matias set a plan to bust him out. They sneak into the retirement home and take him away from that depressing environment in which he was discarded. They know that they can’t come back home, so they decide to spend a while in Matias’ house up north. But, in the middle of their escape, they find José’s grandson snuck in there. Pedro doesn't want to leave his grandpa and insists on accompanying them in their journey.

´Velhos Amigos´ é o retrato comovente de três idosos e uma criança numa aventura de redescoberta da vontade de viver e de um país de beleza e património inigualável.

Carlos, José e Matias são três amigos, entre os setenta e os oitenta anos que se conhecem desde o tempo de criança. José vive com a filha, o genro e o neto, Pedro de nove anos. Tem no neto o único motivo de contentamento. Carlos é reformado e passa o seu fazendo pequenos biscates. Matias é viúvo e vive sozinho, quase ao abandono, já que o filho está no estrangeiro. Os três têm personalidades muito vincadas, mas estão ao mesmo tempo unidos por uma grande amizade.

Uma série que retrata um encontro de gerações de avós e netos.
