Plots(1)

Can a group of seniors (average age 90) – all with artificial joint replacements – successfully take part in a hip hop dance competition? The film traces the fascinating journey of these New Zealanders which they hope will lead all the way to Las Vegas. They don't lack for energy and worldly wisdom. Thanks to their positive attitude, they manage to overcome seemingly intractable obstacles and prove that age is just a number that can be overcome by a good dose of humour. A close friend and supporter is their young manager and coach Billie, who sees obstacles as just another challenge on the road to one's goals. As she says: "You're all going, even if it's in an urn."
