After years of enduring torture from the staff and receiving increasingly poor service for their money, a group of residents of the nursing home ‘Pavilion’ decides to stage an armed uprising. A group of elderly men and women, armed with illegally acquired weapons, occupy the ‘Pavilion,’ taking the management and medical staff hostage, and entering into conflict with the authorities. The rebels turn a seemingly hopeless situation into their advantage, drawing media attention and manipulating the political elite, whose reactions are influenced by the fact that the hostage crisis occurred during an election year. The police are targeted whenever they attempt to put an end to the protest. The uprising in the ‘Pavilion’ results in the establishment of a new internal order whose initiators do not shy away from brutal violence in an attempt to seek revenge for all the injustice and suffering they have endured. While the police and politicians search for ways to suppress the uprising, the rebels benefit from their own old age, in which, unlike their opponents in the outside world and even the captives, they have the least to lose. Because of this, negotiations with them are nearly impossible, while their determination for life to triumph over death is endless.
