Med sommaren kommer längtan

At the Stadsmissionen's retirement colony at Stenfasta, several of the guests have passed the centenary mark. They all tell us that they still have the same longing for love, community and joy when they are 100 years old as when they were younger. Many of them sit isolated in their apartments during the year, they are too healthy and energetic to get help from society but too old to venture out on their own antics. And they all share the same longing, namely to have fun together for two summer weeks. In the documentary, we meet people who have lived a century, but still have both the spark of life and humor.
