This sensitive character portrait follows Nancy, a wonderful 97-year old lady, who lives alone.
The film explores mobility and social interaction, but from a much-neglected perspective: that of the elderly. Despite the increasing life expentancy of those in the West, and a growing aging population to outnumber the young, relatively little attention is paid in the media to 'the older generation'. This film seeks to shed some light into what may lie ahead, and inspire us with Nancy's healthy good humour.

Hello Elliot
This is such a lovely film. Nancy is so positive and pragmatic. How do you know her?
