Synopsis

SENIOR POPSTARS
The Pensioners’ Grand Prix

As spotlights focus on them, the finalists of the pensioners’ grand prix have butterflies in the tummy. Will their notes stay true and their rhythms steady? Who will manage to win the trophy of the ‘Golden Autumnal Leaf’?

This endearing film tells the moving tale of ambitious and gifted artists over 60, who are eagerly getting ready for their great day. In the finale they will be competing with each other in various fields and be judged by a jury of prestigious German pop-stars.
