A gently humorous documentary about an elderly undercover operative who discovers genuine human connection while investigating a retirement home, balancing espionage with unexpected emotional bonds.

When a daughter becomes concerned about her mother's well-being in a retirement home, private investigator Romulo hires Sergio, an 83-year-old man who becomes a new resident—and a mole inside the home, who struggles to balance his assignment with becoming increasingly involved in the lives of several residents.
