Technically speaking, Hendrik Groen is....elderly. But at
age 83 1/4, this feisty, indomitable curmudgeon has no
plans to go out quietly. Bored of weak tea and potted
geraniums, exasperated by the indignities of aging,
Hendrik has decided to rebel--on his own terms. He begins
writing an exposé: secretly recording the antics of day-
to-day life in his retirement home, where he refuses to
take himself, or his fellow "inmates," too seriously. With an eccentric group of friends he founds the wickedly
anarchic Old-But-Not-Dead Club--"Rule #3: No Whining
Allowed"--and he and his best friend, Evert, gleefully
stir up trouble, enraging the home's humorless director
and turning themselves into unlikely heroes. And when a
sweet and sassy widow moves in next door, he polishes his
shoes, grooms what's left of his hair, and determines to
savor every ounce of joy in the time he has left, with
hilarious and tender consequences.
