Overview
13 people between the end of 60 and the middle 80: they have already experienced many things in their lives. Everyone has their own hopes, desires, conflicts and problems. What unites them is the longing for closeness — for a loving partner and the somewhat unusual way they have chosen to escape their loneliness: speed dating.
