Description 'On the terrace of an old soldiers' home, three World War One veterans wile away the day gossiping about the nurses, reminiscing and exasperating one another with harebrained schemes... their querulous and cantankerous camaraderie is tested when Gustave conceives an improbable escape plan that will take them to a distant poplar-lined hill and, perhaps, freedom.'
