Powerful meditation about old age. This is one of the most beautiful films about old age. It tells the story of a man who, after many working years, finally retires. He thinks he'll enjoy life from now on, but the opposite proves to be the truth. He feels he has no place in a world of youth any longer. So he chases the only thing that's very much alive: his memory of his first love in his hometown. He travels to the town where he was born, trying to find the woman he once loved so much, without even knowing she's still alive. The result is... See the film, if you can. (Although it must be very hard to find outside Brazil).
