You're never too old for romance.
You’re never too old for romance.
That is the message of a new Calgary documentary called Love: The Last Chapter by director Dominique Keller.
Keller shot the film pre-pandemic when she lived at a Calgary seniors’ facility for a month.
“I followed three different couples that lived in the residence,” she told Global News on Monday.
“One couple was a long-term romance. They’d been married for a very long time. Another couple, it was a new romance and it was really uncertain, Aand then yet another couple is looking at taking that next step in their relationship.”
Keller said the experience of living in a seniors’ home was amazing.
“I don’t know many people my age that get to move into a seniors’ residence and live there for a month. I mean, I went all in,” she said.
“I ate all my meals there, I played bingo, I did a sit aerobics class, and I did all of that so that I could make connections and make the connections necessary to tell this really personal, intimate story.”
