Plot

Six pensioners enjoy the apparent privilege of retirement in Germany. But what was seen as a desirable goal during their working lives turned out to be an obstacle course full of unexpected bureaucratic, social and health challenges, when they retired. Valeriy, Svetlana, Manni, Klaus, Ilona and Laura – all affected by old-age poverty - give us a private insight into their unique fates and share their thoughts and worries as well as their moments of happiness with us in intimate conversations.
