A Sunday at 105 par Daniel Léger

A 105-year-old Acadian agrees to be filmed one Sunday as she goes about her daily routine and ruminates on life. Filmed by her great-grandson, Aldéa Pellerin-Cormier comments wisely on politics, sex and religion. From getting ready in the morning to drinking her nightcap before bed, every moment is punctuated with a witticism or existential thought. Respectful of the old woman's privacy, Daniel Léger's first documentary looks at wisdom, serenity and enjoyment of life. In French with English subtitles.

«How wonderful! My family name is Pellerin, i will have to ask around. Loved her thoughts and ideas. Also loved that in her family they find it a good thing to listen to what their elders have to say. Just wonderful, thank you Daniel» — suzpel, 12 Jan 2012
