S Y N O P S I SWhen the youngest of them turns 75, the group reunite to drop acid FOR A DEPRAVED
BACK-TO-youth drug-spree WEEKEND on Christmas eve.
HOWEVER, The Group’s leader, Keramides, inadvertently leads his friends into a gang turf war between rival drug gangs while carrying out
a covert op for the Cia.
Los Jodidos led by El Jefe and pre-teen mastermind Slater’s skate punk gang are on the losing end of a gun fight with bridget.
they retaliate by kidnapping keramides’ grandbrat’s christmas present- the cutest puppy in the world.
the stoned seniors trip down hallucinatory lane; running from gangs on a slow speed scooter race during the hollywood christmas parade, performing an old-school troupe breakdance completely naked and getting into hand to hand combat with 12-year-old drug dealers.
Their bonds of friendship are only strengthened as they are drawn into a final
showdown and their secrets of the past and desires of the present are revealed.
