Old Bigwigs

In the nursing home "Bumps" every day is similar to the previous one. Old people set fire to napkins in the dining room, the manager paints the walls herself, and the benefactor gives coffins instead of medicines. Everything changes when a friend, nicknamed the Joker, comes to one of the guests. He decides to prove to everyone that it's too early to die, but to shake the old days is the very thing. Together with a former theater actress, the trio comes up with an unusual business and quickly comes to success: life in the "Cones" becomes a resort! That's just energetic pensioners have become competitors of local bandits…

Directed by Andrei Shavkero, Old Bigwigs leans on a strong ensemble — Aleksey Guskov, Irina Alfyorova, Vasily Kortukov — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2021.
