Film Synopsis:

After years of abuse and humiliation, a group of residents at "The Pavilion" nursing home decide to stage an armed rebellion. Armed with illegal weapons, they seize control of the facility, take the staff hostage, and enter into conflict with the authorities. Their desperate struggle turns into a media and political spectacle, while old age becomes their advantage — they have nothing to lose and are ready to go all the way. A new order emerges inside "The Pavilion," driven by revenge and accumulated anger, and negotiations with the rebels become impossible.
