The Paradise of Riches

This film tells the story of seven elderly men who, feeling lonely during summer, decide to embark on a journey to Tahiti. They find themselves penniless and devise a plan to live together and fund their adventure through petty thefts from local stores.

As the group becomes more daring, they attract the attention of a private detective hired by local shopkeepers frustrated by their antics. The plot thickens as the elderly gang takes drastic measures against the detective, further complicating their plans to escape to a tropical paradise.

With a cast featuring Raymond Bussières, Marcel Dalio, and Lila Kedrova, this film presents a unique blend of humor and drama that illustrates the lengths people will go to chase their dreams, regardless of age. The exploration of companionship among the elderly adds depth to the narrative, making it a notable entry in the drama genre of the late 1970s.
