What’s it about?
When a group of pensioners join a new Senior Social Club- you never know what will happen. The club is housed in the Mandel Community Center along with a nursery, AA, and a karate club. When the council threatens to tear down the Community Center to make way for a new project, the seniors devise a plan.
