The potential world champions were between 80 and 100 years old, the oldest of the five was Alfred Proksch (1908–2011) from Vienna, who competed in throwing championships. They fight against their own impermanence with ambition, humor and self-irony. In addition to him, two women and two men were also portrayed. The women were Gabre Gabric (1917-2015), 1936 Olympic participant for Italy in discus throwing , and the German Ilse Pleuger (* 1923), who lives in Kiel, who competed in the shot put and discus throwing.

reception
- The Focus writes: “Director Tenhaven casts a curious but also respectful look into the world of senior sport. It portrays people who want to get it right again on the home stretch of life and who ambitiously defy their own impermanence. Tenhaven's film is a successful homage to life and the sprightly athletes who still have big plans. "
