Luisa at Guada (2018)

That's what friends are for

Louisa at Guada showed the value of friendship in the golden years. I watched this short film a few years ago and felt the need to revisit these lovely older ladies. Louisa and Guada teased each other about their age and supported each other with love and care.

Every morning Guada rings Louisa’s doorbell with something for them to do whether it’s a game or talking about celebrities. They discuss how they haven’t seen their kids in the past year. Guada is active on Facebook and uses the internet to communicate with her kids. Louisa is interested in finding a boyfriend so that she won’t have to die alone. Guada is all too eager to help her sign up for a dating site and to give her buddy a glow-up.

Louisa and Guada were as giddy as schoolgirls playing together and sharing their mornings. They brought a zing to each other’s lives. Getting older can be accompanied by isolation and depression, but these two women had the perfect antidote... an enduring and enthusiastic friendship.
