Omschrijving

In a world that often overlooks the power of the elderly, Micheline, Francis, and Yves lead a group of activists on a bold and tender journey to redefine the often-complicated relationship between aging and sexuality. Together, they prove that desire, defiance, and the need for intimacy are not strictly reserved for the youth.

Michelin, 81, speaks openly about her longing for passion and refuses to let age diminish her desires. Francis, 70, channels his energy into activism, working with the activist group Grey Pride to improve the lives of queer elderly individuals in France. Meanwhile, Yves, 68, struggles with loneliness and yearns for connection in a world that often renders him as invisible. As they each embark on creative projects, they challenge society’s deep-seated prejudices about aging bodies and sexual expression.

Meneer L.

An Asian tourist visits the touristic highlights that the Netherlands has to offer. After losing his passport – due to biased assumptions about his identity – he ends up in a refugee asylum situated on a former luxury cruise ship in Amsterdam. Awaiting a solution to his precarious situation, he manages to start special friendships with the residents of the asylum through non-verbal communication. This hybrid film was made with non-professional actors and refugees playing themselves, and is inspired by a true story.
