Can two political adversaries ever find common ground to fight for a cause? After suffering a stroke, veteran conservative Bill Bradley is admitted to an aged care facility only to find one of the residents is none other than his nemesis-left-wing radical socialist Ben Curran. When other residents start asking them for help in dealing with unfair government regulations and elder abuse, the two media warriors face a challenge: can they find a way to work together to defend the rights of the elderly and others suffering exploitation and discrimination? With the help of their grandchildren, they come up with a surprising solution. Chalk and Cheese is not only a satire on tribal politics but also an honest examination of the problem of ageing and end-of-life.
