Synopsis
Extravagantly expensive massaging mats, rejuvenating ampoules with coenzyme Q10, a set of steam pots costing over 2000 EUR aggressively sold by young salesmen at suspicious commercial presentations for pensioners, a phenomenon widely spread Central and Eastern European countries. Five elderly friends from a Polish town Torun are fascinated by such presentations and believe that offered products can heal their illnesses and prolong their lives. Absurdity of the characters’ purchases and the emptiness and sadness of their lives only shows the dramatic fight against aging and loneliness. Observational documentary comedy, in which poverty coincides with wealth, laughter with tears; made with a respect for the classic way of documentary making, especially the Czech New Wave of the 1960s.
