Every winter, the Spanish beach town of Benidorm with it´s amazing skyscraper-skyline is taken over by a community of aging retirees from the Netherlands. Daniel Abma and Florian Lampersberger’s documentary film HOLANDA DEL SOL captures this community’s take on dignified aging. Far from home, they enjoy the mild climate with song, celebration and laughter. This is where they want to grow old. This is where they want to die.
