Storyline
Five close friends, five different characters: Claude, who has always loved women; Annie and Jean, the unlikely couple, he a political activist, she bourgeois and conventional; and Jeanne and Albert, the feminist and the bon vivant. Five longtime friends, five different problems with growing old: Claude’s heart has now grown far weaker than his flaming passion; Jean is denied his humanitarian commitment – he’s too high an age-risk for the insurance company! – Annie wants to win back her grandchildren with an expensive garden pool; Jeanne conceals a serious illness and Albert doesn’t notice that his memory is playing tricks on him. The solution: a shared house.
The five decide to move in together: because Claude’s son has already picked out a room for him in a retirement home; because Albert’s daughter has given his dog up to the shelter without asking him; because no one of the five friends is ready to give up any independence – at least not yet. To make their communal life a little easier, Jeanne hires the young student Dirk who moves in with them in Annie and Jean’s home...
