The biographies of six extraordinary people

This unique format depicts six extra-ordinary people who lodge together in an elderly home in a small town. Their biographies represent all there is to real life: war and peace, grief, passionate love, struggle, auspicious opportunities and successful careers.

In each episode we tell the story of one of the participants and it is all based on the authenticity of the reality and the reactions. This way we exhibit the unique atmosphere of the home and its inhabitants. By telling the story ofeach of our six superstars we not only convey a fantastic life history full of all the drama that a single life can contain. We also get to enjoy narratives associated with the history we all share: the stories about love and war andthe dramatic changes of the world we live in. On top of this we take part in their everyday life by means of the reality. Since all the characters in the house suffer to a certain extent from dementia a certain confusion about the present and the past sometimes prevails. But there is always a laugh, a hugor a hilariously funny moment which can be found in no other situation. The structure of an episode consists of numerous lines. One of these is the main line of the episode which gives the opportunity to go in-depth with the main character. Other vital contributions to building the characters are their own personal archives (photos, films and other documents), interviews with staff,friends and relatives and footage from the historical period of time inquestion.
