Almost There - Three men, three paths, one new beginning

This compelling documentary follows three men from different corners of the world as they retire, not into rest, but into reinvention.

Bob trades his safe home for the dusty freedom of the California desert, Steve leaves behind British gloom to perform and reflect under Benidorm’s neon skies, and Yamada finds joy reading stories to children in Tokyo.

Each man is searching—quietly, wildly, or flamboyantly—for meaning, peace, and maybe even happiness after the career clock stops ticking.
