Inspired by a true story, Rocky Holeczek is a uniquely vibrant man, who at the age of 107, is the oldest employed baker in Pittsburgh. His roommate is his grandson, Michael, a 35-year-old surgeon whom he has raised since childhood -- and continues to guide into manhood. Their saga spans over 30 years, beginning when Rocky is 75 years old. During the course of their life together, Michael's world expands to include a wife, children, an overly attentive mother-in-law and a busy career in medicine. Through all the changes, one thing between them remains constant: Rocky's determination to stick around for as long as it takes to teach Michael what he needs to know about living.

Roommates Film Synopsis

An elderly, yet young-at-heart man, moves in with his grandson, and both their lives turn upside-down.

svenska
76-årige Rocky insisterar, trots sin ålder, att adoptera sitt barnbarn Michael när hans föräldrar omkommer. När Rocky 20 år senare måste flytta från sin lägenhet, kommer han på den perfekta lösningen på sitt boendeproblem - att flytta in hos Michael.

Magyar
Rocky Holzcek zsémbes, hetvenhat éves lengyel-amerikai pék, aki a rokonok tiltakozása ellenére magához vette a kisunokáját, amikor annak szülei meghaltak. Michael később felnőtt, tanult és orvos lett, Rocky pedig egyedül él. Amikor kilakoltatják az apartmanjából, Michael magához veszi a még mindig virgonc idős embert. Rocky amilyen jól kijön Michael kínai orvostársával, annyira kevésbé rajong a barátnője, Beth iránt. A fiatalok végül összeházasodnak, gyerekeik lesznek, miközben Rocky tovább dolgozik, a százéves kort is megélve. Azután tragédia történik.

Français
A la mort de ses parents, le petit Michael Holeczek est élevé par son grand-père. Tous deux partagent une très grande complicité jusqu'à ce que le jeune garçon arrive à l'âge adulte...

Deutsch
Als Kind ist Michael Holeczek bei seinem ebenso sonderlichen wie halsstarrigen Großvater aufgewachsen, und nun, Jahre später, nimmt er den fast 100jährigen bei sich auf, als dieser unversehens seine Bleibe verliert. Doch das Leben der Generationen unter einem Dach entpuppt sich als tückenreich, zumal der Alte wenig Begeisterung für Michels neue Damenbekanntschaft, die hübsche Beth, zeigt. Um die drohende Konkurrenz auszuschalten, läßt sich Opa eine Menge Tricks einfallen.

Pусский
Престарелый Роки Хольцек - настоящая заноза для своих родственников. Бойкий, упрямый и эксцентричный дедушка, всегда поступает, как ему вздумается, поэтому лично берет под свою опеку осиротевшего внука Майкла, тогда как прочие родичи были бы счастливы отдать ребенка в приют. Как ни странно, вздорный старче оказывается прекрасным воспитателем, под крылом которого нескладный парнишка постепенно превращается в славного парня. Не сразу близкие патриарха поймут, что этот раздражающий своей неуправляемостью, не желающий тихо угасать дед, без труда перешагнувший столетний рубеж - тот стержень, на котором держится вся их семья...

한국어/조선말
폴란드에서 미국으로 건너온 이민 1세대 할아버지 록키(Rocky Holzcek: 피터 포크 분)는 땡전 한푼 없고 배운 것도 없지만 107세의 고령에도 불구하고 제과점에서 빵을 구우며 스스로의 가치관을 고집스럽게 지켜간다. 여기에 월남전에서 아버지를 여윈 채 할아버지와 함께 생활하는 손자 마이클(Michael Holzcek: D.B. 스위니 분)이 30여년의 세월동안 룸메이트로 살면서 세대간의 갈등과 감동을 웃음과 반전으로 엮어낸다. 어려서 부모를 모두 여의고 고아가 되버린 마이클을 할아버지 록키는 남들이 보기에는 괴팍하고 완고하기 짝이 없지만 정작 남다른 애정과 사랑으로 돌본다. 그러다가 마이클은 장성하여 외과 레지던트로 일하게 되면서 베쓰(Beth Holzcek: 줄리안 무어 분)라는 이름의 사회 봉사활동가를 만나 사랑에 빠진다. 자신 외에는 누구의 도움도 필요없으리라 느꼈던 록키는 사회봉사가인 베쓰를 곱게 보아주지 못한다. 세 사람 사이엔 몇 차례의 갈등이 있었지만, 결국 록키는 손자의 인생을 이해하고 결혼을 승낙한다. 그러나 베쓰는 불의의 교통사로고 즉사하게 되고 마이클은 다시 할아버지와 룸메이트의 관계를 이어가게 된다. 그러나 마이클의 장모는 어머니도 없는 상태에서 외손주들을 괴팍하고 고집스런 구식 늙은이에게 맡겨둘 수 없다고 판단하여 아이들의 양육권을 주장하고 나선다. 그러나 록키는 자신의 방식으로 마이클과 증손자들을 지켜내고 만다. 록키는 평생을 두고서 마이클에게 가르치고 싶었던 가족의 소중함과 행복함을 깨닫게 하고서, 얼마 후 손자와 증손자들이 지켜보는 가운데 조용히 눈을 감는다. 가족의 이름을 부르며.
