This week on Utrecht Centraal there was a book presentation for the book Pensionado's by van Sambeek. I am curious why they pick a bookstore on a train station to do something like this. Is not everybody in to much of a rush to spend time there? Anyway the book Pensionado's sounds like a fun read but not enough to put it on my shelves now though I might pick it up when I am out of books on a holiday.
A group of old friends gathers in the Spanish village Sa Riera. None of them has to worry about money and they try to enjoy life but since they retired they have to much time and more often they are frustrated and quarrel sometimes.
Rob, a former doctor, realizes he has been missing out on a lot of things and decides he wants more freedom in life, something his wife Vera has to get used to. The deranged Boudewijn finds it difficult to accept he is getting older causing him to look for action all around the world often forgetting he is mortal. Wouter fell in love with a woman twenty years his junior after his wife dies, which causes some jealous behaviour.
One dinner everything goes awry causing the friends to confront one another with often hilarious results.
