Rock statt Rente (original title)
UFA SHOW & FACTUAL GmbH • Documentary & Factual • Sat.1 • 08/2010They are well over 70, have music in their blood and are keen to rock: 25 sprightly pensioners want to give it another go and are rehearsing for the performance of their lives.
With “ROCK STATT RENTE! Das Beste kommt zum Schluss”, SAT.1 is showing the most extraordinary TV music project of the year.
Whether international rock anthems such as “Highway to Hell” by AC/DC or German punk classics by the “Ärzte”, the Ü70 choir is breaking new musical ground.
The exciting challenge really shakes up the lives of the singing seniors. “This choir will shake people up once again!” says Evelyn, 79, and Wilhelm (95) and his fellow singers really turn up the heat. Undeterred by their advanced age, the sprightly pensioners throw themselves into this unique project full of joie de vivre.
The highlight of the six-part docu-soap: a performance with the German rock band PUR.
