Le Reflet de la vie

Seven people oven the age of 85 in the Cevenne mountains. “Tenderness and isolation, contemporary aspects of old age in a society which abhors the advancing of years… The film, conceived of as a series of portraits, renews contact with those who have been pushed away, and highlights the rich diversity of old age: there are those who have organised their lives till the last moment, there are others whose plans have crumbled with the passage of time. To each, his own reflection of life.” (Eliane de Latour)
