Five long-time friends hatch a daring scheme to escape from their old people's home. Despite their various illnesses they have great affection for one another and want to move in together.

Five characters who could not be more different. Claude: the eternal lover. Annie and Jean: she bourgeois and conformist, he still a political activist. And Jeanne and Albert: the feminist and the bon vivant. Despite all the afflictions and pitfalls that come with age, they still feel vital, full of energy. So they master the small everyday accidents and quarrels until a big secret comes to light that puts the friendship of the clique to the test. Starring Jane Fonda, Geraldine Chaplin, Daniel Brühl, and Pierre Richard.

"With gentle irony but thoughtful moments, the film celebrates a new image of ageing." (ZDF heute journal)
