Plot
Three men embark on a journey in search of meaning and happiness in the autumn of their lives: Bob swaps his safe home for a camper van and tries to find himself in the barren Californian desert; Steve, drag queen and stand-up comedian, is fed up of England and makes amends with his past in Benidorm; Yamada rediscovers his smile by reading stories to children in Tokyo.
Sinekatalog’s take
A documentary following three older men who set out in search of meaning and contentment, from a desert camper van to a drag stage to a children's reading room. Gentle and wise, it is a heartening watch about starting over late.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
