Two wonderful old ladies demonstrate the joys of life on a road trip through the Swiss Alps.

Two women have had enough: of being alone and of paternalism. Toni’s (70) life has always been tough, and although Helene (86) enjoyed fame and fortune as an actress, she’s now over 80 and finds the loneliness so hard to bear that she’s decided to put an end to it all in Switzerland, with assistance. But how will she make it to her appointment on time when some people want to prevent her with every means at their disposal?

In their comedy “80 Plus”, Sabine Hiebler and Gerhard Ertl dispatch two opposing temperaments on a road trip that’s about life and death – but even more about defying one-dimensional concepts of aging.
