Synopsis
What makes life worth living when we grow old? When we have more time, but our bodies have less capacities? Our own mobility becomes one of the most important things for us, because it represents freedom and a self-determined life. Benidorm, Spain: Every winter, the Dutch senior-community takes over the city along with its amazing skyscraper-skyline. They stay several months, or even move permanently into a geriatric-center and find their own comfort there. Far away from home they enjoy the mild climate, they sing, party and laugh. This is where they grow old, this is where they want to pass away. Benidorm became a hideaway. To escape from loneliness, to live the dream of being retired in the south, or to just enjoy.
