Description Meet Gustave, Henri and Philippe, three elderly oddballs who spend their days on a quiet terrace of their military nursing home. Henri is a hopeless romantic with a gammy leg, Phillippe lives in fear of the head nun, and Gustave dreams of freedom, but can?t manage to get past the front gate!

Nothing changes much for these men until one day, when Gustave hatches a daring plan to escape.
