Isidro, Arturo und Desiderio sind drei ältere und lebenslange Freunde mit sehr unterschiedlichen Leben: Isidro ist ein 60-jähriger Mann, verheiratet mit Amalia und seit zwei Jahren arbeitsloser Verkäufer, der verzweifelt nach einem neuen Job sucht, während er sich normalerweise um die Enkel seines Sohnes Tomás kümmert; Arturo ist ein ewiger Frauenheld und berühmter Schriftsteller von romantischen Novellen in einer kreativen Krise, dessen Tochter Violeta nach 15 Jahren mit einem Baby, Marcela, auftaucht; und Desiderio ist ein 70-jähriger Witwer seiner Frau Amparo und im Ruhestand als Mautstellenmitarbeiter, dessen Sohn Carlos und seine geliebte Schwiegertochter Lola gezwungen sind, zu ihm zu ziehen, nachdem sie ihr Haus verloren haben.
Totally unfamiliar with the 21st century language and terms used by the youth people after some failed job interviews, one day Isidro has an idea: create their own job making a kindergarten. Assisting to a motivational course, training coach Bruno accepts help them if Arturo gives him love advises since Bruno is a disaster to meet and seduce women. Closing the deal, Bruno traces the plan to get the kindergarten, but the personal problems appear faster than the expected: Isidro neglects Amalia in his obsession to have job as well as she desperates by not understanding Isidro's need to job; Arturo doesn't how to say Violeta that really she's not his daughter because she was a baby when he met her mother; Desiderio meets Teresa while he searches information for the kindergarten, falling in love with her but hiding the fact that his supposed granddaughter in true is Marcela; and Lola disgusts with Carlos by his daily resentment and laziness, and the way he despises his father that she loves as if he was her own. While the financing of the kindergarten adds additional troubles with the bank, Isidro, Arturo and Desiderio not only will try to show that they aren't useless, but rethink their priorities in life and that they want really.
