What a Way To Go
6.7
Five old friends. One last voyage. Fed up with being written off — dismissed by their children, care homes looming, invisible to the world - they decide to defy expectations and take a sailing boat for one last adventure. No itinerary, no carers. Just open waters, old bonds and a bumbag or recreational drugs. Determined to prove that life, at any stage, is what you make of it.
