The “Golden Years” … drama … feel good comedy … mystery movie that show audiences it is never-too-late-to find happiness.
Alice and Peter are celebrating their retirement. When their children gift them with a cruise on the Mediterranean, they look forward to this new phase in their lives. But then Alice’s best friend Magalie dies unexpectedly and Alice discovers that she had been having a secret affair in France for 15 years. Plunged into an existential crisis, Peter becomes a health fanatic, to hedonist Alice’s chagrin. So, when Peter invites Magalie’s widowed husband Heinz to join them on the cruise, which Alice had hoped would breathe new life into their marriage, their harmonious retirement is over and pent-up frustrations bubble to the surface. While Peter spends time with Heinz, Alice leaves the cruise trip through the Mediterranean and heads onwards shore excursion to Marseille and it is only on their separate paths of self-discovery that the couple find unexpected new ways to spend their golden years.
The Swiss quality of life completely in many ways different content from a Hungarian couple to forward to their new phase in thie lives. Yet enjoyable and giving audience in mind similar situation they have had already lived through. Just watching the movie surely gives smiles and understanding the difference nomatter where you reach the well-deserved retirement age.
