Le Sens de l'âge (2011)
Directed by Ludovic Virot

Documentary

Film Synopsis

The ageing process can easily frighten when seen from a distance.  But, by listening to old people, it appears that the ageing of the body is accompanied by a rejuvenation of the spirit.  Growing old brings with it new experiences, a chance to see life from a new perspective.  Six octogenarians talk about how they have adapted to the physical limitations of old age, how their tastes have changed and how their zest for living continues.
