But what they find is a village in crisis, so they decide they want to help revive the place. But to do so, the village needs money. The League of Pensioners arrange events to attract paying tourists, which all turns out to be a rather delicate - and dramatic - balancing act when you are wanted by the police! Even when the school is about to be closed, they step up to put on classes in technology, seamanship, and entrepreneurship so that the students can start companies and create new jobs and hopefully a future. Having donned the mantle of guerrilla fighters come to save Sweden's countryside from depopulation, will they be able to help the villagers get the attention of the politicians to save the village without being caught?
