I viaggiatori della sera is a 1979 Italian/Spanish science fiction-drama film written and directed by Ugo Tognazzi. It is loosely based on a novel with the same name by Umberto Simonetta. [1]
In an alternative 1980 future, recently approved laws mandate that everybody must retire and move into state-run vacation villages upon reaching their 50th birthday. Here, although provided with free food, alcohol, entertainment and all perks of a promiscuous life style, the guests are effectively prisoners who get progressively decimated, by winning a "cruise" from which there is no return.
The movie follows the experience of a couple forced into the new reality, under pressure of their own sons and society as a whole. Although initially rebellious, they progressively give in, and will both die within some weeks in the village. Their sons are relatively at ease with the new system, which is in turn embraced unquestionably by their own child.
