Synopsis
After decades of dormancy, the ageing icons of Parsi Theatre return to the stage, putting aside their walking sticks for one final curtain.
Plunging into rehearsals, this documentary chronicles the resilience of a singular cast of characters that want nothing more than to go out with a bang. We get an intimate portrait of the bonds shared between the veteran stars and the youngsters, along with a distinct flavour of their sensibilities, marked by a particular brand of not-so-subtle (and sometimes downright potty) humour that is uniquely their own.
The film debunks and celebrates old age as the players want to put up the best show they can, not one that’s simply good enough given its ‘senior citizen’ tag.
A great tragedy befalls the cast on the eve of the Final Show. Will it change everything? Or will the show go on, despite all odds?
