Description

He made it to Pamplona? but now what? One year into an unsatisfactory retirement, Howard Woods learns of his wife's decades-old betrayal. In response, Howard upends his well-ordered life and, to the dismay of his family, announces his intention of traveling to Pamplona, Spain, for the annual running of the bulls. Now miserably committed to a course of his own choosing, but with little idea of how to achieve the resolution he desires, he ends up living at a Holiday Inn. How does a middle-aged man of the Eisenhower era survive in the age of cell phones and the Internet? The answer is hilarious and achingly poignant.
