Ganz großes Kino -
Essener Contilia Gruppe macht Senioren zu Stars
Sie schlüpften für einen Tag in eine andere Rolle, waren so
cool wie James Bond,
so glamourös wie Marilyn Monroe, so stark wie
Rocky!
Das Ergebnis ist ein einmaliger Fotokalender, der nun auf
internationales Interesse stößt -
und die Senioren im Alter zwischen 75 bis 98 Jahren selbst zu Stars werden lässt.
