Synopsis
Two men and two women, between the ages of 77 and 90, mine the unexpected riches of old age. Theirs is a time of life in which platitudes and preconceived notions drop by the wayside, one by one. These old people exist without age: madmen, lovers, they exist in a state of horror and wonder, like tightrope walkers on a high wire of time. There is nothing more natural, more human, than aging. It is at once a natural process and an art. It is certainly not a catastrophe. The documentary sloughs off the popular imagery of old age as a shipwreck. Before any shipwreck, there is first of all the journey, the exploration of a still-unmapped continent: the Antarctica of human existence.
