Golden Years

According to director Kulcsar, coming-of-age can happen at any age. Her delightful comedy GOLDEN YEARS, Switzerland’s biggest box office hit in many years, is ample proof. The glitzy party launched retirement with a bang for Alice and Peter, but then what? His fanatical new embrace of a health-nut lifestyle plus the sudden death of her best friend, who had imparted a shocking secret with her last breath, casts a pall over their dream cruise. Looking for more out of life than her husband appears to desire, Alice jumps ship in Marseille, embarking on a footloose journey through Provence that brings new friends, offbeat adventure and some magic mushrooms. Back home, Peter discovers domestic harmony when his widowed friend Heinz moves in. Unexpectedly glorious lifestyle changes are in the offing when Alice returns. In Swiss German with English subtitles.
