A Young Girl in Her Nineties

Like a body without a soul: this is what patients with Alzheimer's sometimes can seem like. Blanche Moreau, a beautiful 92-year-old lady, is no exception. Everything changes the moment dancer and choreographer Thierry comes to the geriatric centre, where she along with other senior citizens are spending the last phase of their lives. Through his dance therapy the seriously ill patients come fully to life. Blanche in particular enjoys the intimacy and attention focused on them in common movement. This poetic film explores the delicate topic of the emotional needs of senior citizens, confirming the power of art therapy and proving without words that a young soul may reside in an old body.
