When Ravi Kapoor, a stressed London doctor, finds himself on the verge of a nervous breakdown living day and night with his father-in-law, he decides to take a drastic decision: send him far away. His wishes seem to come true when his cousin, the Hindu businessman Sonny, announces that he plans to open a retirement home in the purest British style in Bangalore. It will not be very expensive or very luxurious, but English retirees will be able to enjoy the warm climate of India and a good mango juice seasoned with a few drops of gin. Ravi sees the sky open and Norman, his father-in-law, seems willing to live intensely in the exotic Marigold Hotel. A hilarious comedy narrated with sensitivity and an acute ability to dive into the human soul, in which the funniest scenes hide a deep message about the infinite possibilities of reinventing oneself, even in the final stage of our lives.
