Old people who want sex – taboo. In this sensitive and wonderful documentary, we meet Micheline, Francis and Yves, who are members of the French organization Grey Pride and, despite being over 70, or even over 80, still have sexual desires and longings. Living out these desires is not easy; even within a relationship, they encounter limits. These powerful, defiant “golden oldies”, their visions of aging with dignity and sex-positivity and their lust for life are surely an inspiration for all generations.
