I teach a class of senior citizens, and this is some relevant.

I am an occasional teacher of a class of senior citizens, many of which are over 80. My own father is nearing the time when assisted care living becomes necessary. Many of the emotions that I feel while I watch my own dad and teach these dear seniors were evoked within me by this short and very clever story. The story depicts the need that many seniors feel to have some adventure in their lives that give them something to look forward to in an otherwise tedious routine. The language is clean and suitable for children. The escape schemes of these men are funny and even mildly suspenseful. If you have a loved one who is in some form of assisted care, I would highly recommend this short film. If you have children who are watching their grandparents in their latter years, the video offers some terrific talking points. For a rookie film director, Jack Litchfield did quite well.
