Refusing to simply accept being dismissed by a society that leaves little space for old women, three friends program a daring and extraordinary experience

Hannelore, Clotilde, and Frau Schnadelhuber are sick and tired of living in a global that will not enable old females to be seen or noticed. Determined to demonstrate their worth to a society devoted to youth, the three females set out to undertake a dangerous stunt that’s not to be ignored. With the help of Cleopatra Maria, the 26-year-old genius granddaughter of Hannelore and grandniece of Clotilde, the four females grab the barrel from a travelling display and drive it across Canada with a plan to trip it over the Niagara Falls.

Coloured by real-life rates about daredevils who’ve actually attempted to take the plunge on the Falls, The Widows weaves together the stories of Hannelore, Clotilde, and Frau Schnadelhuber both before and during their grand adventure.
