Françoise, Marie-France, Ali, Paul, Mohamed, Marcel, Claudette, Henri, Janine, Jacqueline, and André… They are between 63 and 92 years old, and yes, they are “old,” but they still have things to say, things to live for, as each of them is at a turning point in their lives. Their candid and emotional confessions, without filters or taboos, take us beyond prejudices to paint an impressionistic portrait of this ultimate stage of life.

Through themes like the body, work, love, loneliness, home, and death, they show us that old age is not a decline, but rather a true phase of life, a personal revolution.
