Growing old, no one can avoid it. But many worry about it, anxious because old age announces death, and in the meantime so often betokens loneliness or dependence. Is there some other way of growing old, of maintaining to the last the quality of one’s life, the ability to feel intense emotions… love, hate, loyalty, hopes of happiness… in a word, of living to the very end. Miel Van Hoogenbemt meets the old: the weathered couples; the solitary men and women whose relationships wore down or broke apart; and still others who only discovered love in the heart of their seasoned age. He shares with them these days of their advanced years and offers us a glimpse of their happy moments and their other moments, all so precious because we only live once.
