Three 80-year-old men embark in a road trip in order to fulfil the dying wish of a lifelong friend. In spite of the disapproval of their families and the limitations of their advanced age, they find themselves involved in a series of comical misadventures and meet a cast of colourful characters. Their journey alters their sense of self and their place in the world. There is, indeed, life after 80!
"The journey of three elder men through a mystic country is seen as from the eyes of a child. Where so often those who gave us the present, are deprived of a decent future; the joy lived by this group of people is invaluable. It’s a gift for those people who are enduring their own difficulties for something bigger: friendship." (Jack Zagha Kababie)
