Vengeance.

 

As Dr. Ben Polten becomes increasingly indignant at the dogmatic rituals and oppressive policies of a COVID response that robs him and his patients of their humanity and their lives, he snaps and is broken down by those who hold the reigns of power. But then his elderly patients teach Ben a lesson that each of them embraces:  vengeance is not to fight a direct battle against an unassailable foe. Vengeance is a path that allows them to preserve their own inner power and purpose despite that foe.

 

The Geriatrics Vengeance Club tells the story of Ben and his elderly patients who defy those depriving them of their autonomy in a world that has gone mad.  From a former NSA agent who sees conspiracy everywhere, to a delusional Cat Lady who knows more than she lets on, to a 103-year-old woman who likes to talk dirty, to a band of elderly singers and a quirky music executive who bring Ben on a whirlwind mask-free concert tour, Ben’s life is turned upside down.  Along the way he finds love and purpose, never turning his back on the battle that has defined him.  Through humor and a quiet defiance, Ben Polten finds his vengeance in the era of COVID.
