About the show:


At "Les Lilas sont morts" (The Lilacs Are Dead), a small retirement home ideally located between the hospital and the cemetery, lives Yolande Chatimois... A quiet, unassuming grandmother... And yet...!! Between a lottery win, being placed under guardianship, Libyan migrants, a revolutionary caregiver, one vaccination too many, and the nursing home crisis... A pandemic of escapes is brewing!!

Thanks to his caregiver Wahib, a bodybuilder in his spare time, training has begun and the revolution will soon be at the gates of the nursing home!!
