Het Lied van 80 Lentes plot

In The song of 80 springs, the maker shows six 'old' people in their eighties who do not convert the saying goodbye to loved ones, physical possibilities and dreams into passivity, but with a hefty dose of humor and the ability to put things into perspective, as good and as bad as that goes, trying to keep choosing life. For example, the film follows the couple Dirk (82) and Liz (80) who are extremely popular in care and nursing homes with their music group the Tubos. In the circuit where the Tubos perform, we meet the other characters in the film. Mrs. Schuitenmaker (75), a woman who has been paralyzed in a chair in front of the window for 12 years, but who definitely wants to live. And the widowers Evert (81) and Wim (80) who still love the attention of beautiful young girls.
