When old age brings physical and sometimes mental decline, is there any way to maintain an attitude of hope towards life and its mysteries? This is the question that this documentary seeks to address by calling on not only specialists such as geriatricians, gerontologists, psychologists and philosophers, but first and foremost, the lived experience of the elderly themselves. With the participation of Denys Arcand and Marcel Sabourin, among others, filmmaker Fernand Dansereau offers a rare authentic portrait of the situation of the elderly.
