"To be or not to be?" echoes through the halls of a derelict Soviet-era retirement home, where a group of its elderly residents rehearse the original play "Shakespeare's Sins". From casting to premiere night, Outliving Shakespeare follows the retiree theatre troupe as they bond in and between rehearsals, transforming from a lighthearted look at aging into a deeper, thought-provoking exploration of the loneliness that accompanies it. As the production unfolds, the drama begins to blur with reality.
