Age of Wisdom

A documentary by Sérine Lortat-Jacob

52 min I French

Synopsis

Admitted to continuous care at the hospital in Draguignan at the end of the summer for severe dehydration, Mom, once back home in Saint-Tropez, begins to let herself drift; she no longer wants to go down the three flights of stairs to do her shopping, nor to cook for herself. I decide to arrange home assistance. Driven by a good dose of self-irony and a strong taste for freedom, Mom resists her situation with a playful defiance.
