As GreyPride in Paris approaches, three rabblerousers contemplate and advocate for their right as older adults to recognition, love, and sexual liberation. This beautifully filmed and inspiring documentary follows 81-year-old Micheline, brimming with sexual desire and looking for ways to express it; 70-year-old Francis, a feisty anti-ageism activist; and 68-year-old Yves, seeking love and companionship. The three set out to revolutionize senior living, challenge stereotypes, and combat discrimination through a collective effort to debunk preconceived notions of sex, love, and aging.
When 43-year-old gay director Alexis Taillant recognized the invisibility faced by older members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in Western societies, he turned his camera towards their lives, capturing their dreams for the present and future. Elder rights, historical movements, sex, and love are all part of this humorous, sexy, and joyful documentary.
It’s in French with English subtitles.
