The Over the Hill Band

The Over the Hill Band

Running time: 100 mins

It?s never too late to be a comeback kid.

Who has time for retirement homes when a musical reunion five decades in the making is waiting? Searching for a new beginning after her husband?s death, sixty-something widow Claire hits upon an idea?bringing back the Sisters of Love, the three-woman music group she put together 50 years earlier with her friends Lutgard and Magda. The notion of a trio of geriatric singers doesn?t immediately appeal to Claire?s son, Alexander, a music producer who has his own faltering career to worry about. With bills piling up on his desk, however, Alexander decides to give the Sisters of Love a shot, on the condition that they update their playlist.

A funny and tender intergenerational talent show, Geoffrey Enthoven?s warm comedy-drama will delight you, move you and maybe even change the way you listen to ?Pump Up the Volume.?
