    Synopsis

    Elderly residents of the LGBT-friendly Julie Roger Home in Frankfurt enjoy visits from male strippers, baking transgender Christmas cookies and Sunday dance events with an emphasis on spring fever. At the elderly home, seniors of all sexual orientations are welcomed to express their sexuality during the last days of their lives. The short documentary WE WILL SURVIVE observes the funny, heart-warming and at times delicate everyday life at Julie Roger Home.
