Vieux

We all grow old. That’s a fact. But we don’t all age in the same way. This is obviously due to health, family circumstances, and resources. But it also, and perhaps above all, depends on the country in which we live. Which cultures are inherently favorable to the elderly? And in what ways?

While services for seniors are more developed in Western countries, isolation, abuse, and neglect often ruin the lives of older people. Conversely, does multigenerational solidarity in some developing countries make older people happier? In other words, what is it like to be old in different cultures around the world?

Vieux (Elderly) follows characters who bear witness to the reality of older people in four countries on four continents. Constructed using alternating montages, this feature film will fuel reflection on aging.
