Product details

Eighty-five-year-old Hendrik Groen has had enough of coffee mornings and bingo. He dreams of leaving the confines of his nursing home and practicing hairpin turns with his mobility scooter. Inspired by his fellow members of the newly formed club "Old, but not dead," he vows to put aside his Custard Creams and indulge in a bit of octogenarian anarchy. However, the director of the nursing home will not tolerate drunken pub crawls, illegal fireworks, and geriatric romance under her watch. The "Old, but not dead" club must stick together if they don't want to gently fade into the night. The situation becomes more serious when rumors arise that the home is to be demolished. It is up to Hendrik and his crew to prevent this – or die trying. He may be over 85, but Hendrik Groen has no intention of slowing down – or going down without a fight.
