In a decaying Soviet-era retirement home, a vibrant group of elders cling to life by staging Shakespeare.

“To be or not to be?” echoes through the halls of a derelict Soviet-era retirement home, where a group of its elderly residents rehearse an original play in which the renowned playwright's own characters confront him over their tragic fates. Outliving Shakespeare follows the theater troupe bonding in and between rehearsals, transforming from a lighthearted warm look at the innocent dignity of aging, into a deeper thought-provoking exploration of the loneliness that accompanies it.
