Codgers: the movie

Our contribution to Seniors Festival 2020

Five senior Aussie men, four of them mates since war service, meet one morning each week in a gymnasium. They exercise, chew the fat about their families, sling off, tease, sing and have a bloody good laugh.

Among he jokes and the secrets, the back strain and biceps, they learn that “difference” is more to do with your point of view and no matter what, “you wouldn’t be dead for quids!”.

Together, they solve the problems of the world…even if they must agree to disagree. But some surprising and disturbing elements enter to test and challenge their comfortable relationships with each other and the world around them. Secrets, differences and loss of trust threaten to destroy the long-established friendships.
