Pigeon Boy

Eternal Youth

Chloë's grandmother is the newest resident of the Eternal Youth retirement home, one that promises to revitalise the older generation. She is extremely surprised when she is immediately put to work sewing tablecloths etc but when Mrs Bernadette, the proprietor, tells her that not only do they help underprivileged children with their charity work, but keeping busy will keep senility at bay, she readily agrees. She is shocked when she discovers that they are expected to work 8 hours a day without a break. The residents are not allowed to make phone calls or receive visitors and their post is censored. The poor old woman is unable to leave as there are no spaces in any of the other retirement homes and she doesn't want to be a burden on her family. The pigeons call on Pigeon Boy to stop the residents of the Eternal Youth being exploited so ruthlessly by Mrs Bernadette who is selling all the goods on at a huge profit.
