Synopsis
Sometimes, when you’re in the autumn of your days, you’ll try anything just to put a smile on your face again. And so in this funny, sad (and sometimes wobbly) tale we meet two pensioners who manage to re-ignite the love they’d almost forgotten about.  Unfortunately, soon the law comes knocking at their door…
