being old

A young couple , living in a presumed isolated place, in the manner of venerable people. The habits, words, atmosphere of house , talks and manner to eat are specific for old people. But for her, this game - refuge becomes incoveniant. Maybe because each age has its soul and rhytm. Maybe for a sort of fear by oldness . Or as answer to his sessions of photo with venerable ladies, for his games with rotten fruits, snails and worms.

His solution is dark and, maybe, pragmatic, the put on reality of the basic fear and certitude of oldness , grace to a pie and crushed pills.

Loving the Gothic literature, I was not far by the special beauty, creepy, eccentric, bizarre and strange of this short film , admirable crafted , well exploration of oldness from a fist of perspectives.
