The Oldest Person in the World
The Oldest Person in the World
Developed over a decade of the director’s travels around the world, the film follows the ever-changing record holders – the oldest people on Earth. The portrait of longevity becomes a reflection on the passage of time, the unpredictability of fate, and the joy of savoring life. With each encounter, the director’s fascination with the title merges with his personal experiences of years, joys, and sorrows. The film blends humor, warmth, and a hint of melancholy, providing a profound and playful look at the art of being alive, full of irony, sincerity, and formal lightness.
