"A story of the Young at Heart Chorus, a group of senior citizens who perform contemporary and classic rock and pop songs."@en
"Follows a choir of senior citizens who sing classic rock covers as they rehearse for their annual concert."
"Young at Heart Chorus is based in Northampton, Massachusetts. See the final weeks of rehearsal for the group, whose average age is 81 and many of whom must overcome health adversities to participate. Their music is unexpected, going against the stereotype of their age group, performing songs that range from James Brown to Coldplay. The group has toured Europe and sung for royalty. Now they are focusing on preparing new songs, not an easy endeavor, for a concert in their home town."@en

"The Young@Heart Chorus is a vocal group from Northampton, MA, who have earned an international reputation for their unique interpretations of songs by Sonic Youth, the Ramones, and the Clash. However, this isn't a teenage garage band attacking the classic punk rock songbook the Young@Heart Chorus is comprised of 22 senior citizens whose average age is 80, and under director Bob Cilman they've gained a degree of fame for their enthusiastic a cappella renditions of well-known rock & roll tunes. Filmmaker Stephen Walker spent several weeks with the members of the Young@Heart Chorus as they rehearsed for their annual concert in Northampton, and Young@Heart is a documentary which offers a look at their rigorous rehearsal process, the background of several members, and their efforts to stay active and think positive, even as their friends succumb to old age. Produced for British television, Young@Heart was screened in competition at the 2007 Los Angeles Film Festival."@en
"Depuis 1982, la chorale Young@Heart, de Northampton, Massachusetts, revisite le répertoire rock, punk et r&b. Or, la moyenne d'âge de ses membres est de 80 ans. Le documentariste britannique Stephen Walker a épié ces 24 retraités et leur directeur pendant les sept semaines de répétitions de leur nouveau spectacle, composé de chansons des Clash, de James Brown et de Sonic Youth. Chemin faisant, il s'est introduit dans leur quotidien, les suivant même jusqu'à l'hôpital, d'où certains ne sont pas revenus."
""Get ready to rock out with the most entertaining "golden oldies" you will ever meet, a fun-loving senior citizen's choir called Young@Heart. To prepare for a show in their hometown that is only weeks away, the lovable seniors must learn a slate of new songs, ranging from James Brown to Coldplay. The chorus' tireless musical director leads the group through a series of hilariously chaotic rehearsals, proving that hard rock can be hard work - especially when you're hard of hearing!"--Container."
"A chorus of twenty-two senior citizens with an average age of eighty, is directed by a frequently demanding Bob Cilman. In preparation for a concert in their hometown of Northampton, Massachusetts, they spend two months learning new material ranging from James Brown to the Pointer Sisters to The Clash and Sonic Youth, a task that's daunting for them and frequently frustrating for Cilman. At one point they take a break to visit a nearby low-security prison and entertain the inmates, who literally and figuratively embrace them after they perform. The group's determination to succeed increases with the passing of two of their members in rapid succession, and the concert proves to be a major success with the community."@en
"Wenn ein Chor aus lauter Greisen den Clash-Slammer <<Should I Stay Or Should I Go>> singt, dann ist das ein ebenso ungewohnter wie bezaubernder Anblick. Der Filmemacher Stephen Walker beobachtete während sechs Wochen im amerikanischen Bundesstaat Massachussets einen Chor älterer Menschen, die für ein Konzert proben."
"Der Senioren-Chor aus New England hat mit seinen weltweiten Auftritten von Cover-Songs von The Clash bis Coldplay bereits viele Leute berührt und unterhalten. Dieser sympathische Film zeigt, wie Pensionierte - unter der Führung eines strengen Musical-Regisseurs - ihre neue Show einüben und damit dem Song von James Brown, "I feel good", eine komplett neue Bedeutung geben. Dabei herausgekommen ist ein lustiger und unerwartet rührender Film über Freundschaft, kreative Inspiration und das Überwinden eigenener Grenzen bis ins hohe Alter. (Quelle: Umschlagtext)."
