Comedy

Film Synopsis

Taking the advice of his father, Alex opts to find work as a monitor at a summer camp, expecting this will be a sure-fire way to get to meet the girl of his dreams.  Unfortunately, the plan doesn't go quite as planned as the summer camp Alex ends up at is one intended exclusively for retired people - not the happiest of havens for a virile young man lusting for youth and beauty.  Far from being a docile, easy-to-please crowd, Alex's charge of hyperactive sextagenarians proves to be just as wild and unpredictable as a pack of over-sexed twenty-somethings - and just as badly behaved.  For the next two months, Alex can forego his own happy romantic ambitions.  What lies ahead is a bitter ordeal of epic proportions, in which one young man's endurance will be tested to the limit by a troublesome menagerie of white-haired delinquents...
