The headstrong 90-year-old Hans, is forced by his estranged daughter Karla (living abroad) into a retirement home. Once there, he comes face to face with the draconian management of Matron van Dussen, a retired jail warden, who restricts and dis-empowers the residents. He tries to escape, but his efforts are futile against the matron's repressive rule.

It's marijuana cookies, strippers and grand escapism in an anti-ageism revolution about growing old on your own terms.
