Summary:

Men retire in different ways. All of our heroes are looking for happiness, fulfilment, and some rest. Bob swaps his safe home for a campervan and tries to find the tough guy inside himself in the barren Californian desert. Drag queen and stand-up comedian Steve is fed up with England and makes amends with his past between Benidorm's concrete towers. And Yamada rediscovers his smile by reading stories to children in Tokyo.
