Describe the later years of a group of elderly music artists, whose spiritual support is music. With one of the singers, the former husband and wife as the protagonists, although they have experienced the pain of betrayal, when they get old, they can understand each other again, let go of everything, and hold on to what they love again.
Heroes grow old, beauties fade away, even the most successful and greatest people are afraid of the day they will die, but unfortunately people will usher in that day after all. No matter how brilliant it was in the past, it can never match the ruthlessness of the years.
A luxurious nursing home is home to a group of musicians who used to be famous in the music world. The rivers and lakes still have their legends, but the years have overdrawn their bodies, and they can only spend the rest of their lives in the nursing home. Every year, these three outstanding singers raise funds from the society through their trio to keep the nursing home running. Although the nursing home is small, every elderly person can find happiness and peace there.
The four retired opera singers were once leaders in the opera world: Wilf was once a prodigal son in love, but now he can only talk to young ladies about pornographic jokes, eat tofu, although a little annoying, but it is the pistachio of the nursing home; Lei Kat uses her expertise to popularize the fading opera for young people; Sissi is a little confused and often forgets things, but she is happy every day, like a child; Jane used to be a star in the opera world, she and Reggie There was a history of marriage.
After Jane became famous when she was young, Jane chose to fly solo, and as her fame grew, she not only broke with her former friend, but also ended her marriage with Reggie.
Although Jane retired, people are still stuck in their former glory, immersed in memories, unable to accept their own aging. Her arrival broke the calm of the nursing home. Although the past love debts and past grievances stirred up a pool of spring water, it did not set off a huge wave. After all, when people are old, they can see through the world, and short-term anger is no match for the past love.
Others in the nursing home accept the reality, play the piano and sing, and enjoy it. Some even ignore the doctor's warning, smoke and drink, and enjoy the rest of their time.
The nursing home has beautiful scenery, complete facilities and dedicated staff. The people living in it are all peers. It is a happy place for the elderly. But the nursing home is facing closure due to funding problems. In order to preserve this place of comfort, a fund-raising evening is held every year at the nursing home to commemorate the birthday of Italian opera maestro Verdi, to raise working capital for the following year. The former big names in the music world still have to give full play to their specialties for the survival of old age.
Most elderly people think this is a moment to recognize their own worth, and it is a rare opportunity to show their talents. They plan intensively and rehearse enthusiastically. Because of Jane's fame, the organizers of the concert wanted to invite her to come out and collaborate with former partners Reggie, Wilf and Sissi again, to recreate the opera Rigoletto that once made them famous.
When everyone thought that the four old friends should perform a piece of opera "Rigoletto" together, to relive the glorious moments of the past and make the fund-raising party even more successful. The other three all want to show off their singing voices and regain their former style, but the heroine Jane does not want to let her voice change to ruin the beauty of the past. She is very concerned about the evaluation of her by the media, and she is more willing to keep her good reputation in the arena.
The invitation of Jane to participate in the meal was unsuccessful, and Jane was still angry. After returning, Jane got mad at Qian Qian who came into the room, and Qian Qian was ill. After Sissy was done, Jane prepared a gift to apologize to the three. Qian Qian stimulated her to say that if the four of them didn't sing, the finale would be for the person who used to compare Jane's career, Jane agreed.
Jane's entanglement is understandable. People can let go of their grievances when they are old, but they value the reputation and status of the past more. They don't want to let beauty be broken, so they would rather give up their hobbies. How many well-known writers closed their pens in their later years, and how many big names in the music industry retreated behind the scenes in their twilight years, not because they could no longer write or sing, but because they could not reproduce the peaks of the past, and would rather leave the most beautiful memories for the world.
In the end, in order to fulfill the wish of an old friend, Jane finally overcomes her inner timidity and dresses up to attend. The show may no longer be gorgeous, but she still does not lose the beauty of the past. Jane decided that she would no longer be timid and pay attention to the eyes of the world. She would continue to sing for her friends and her happy old age.
