Ànima Lliure

Actor, director and artist, the French creator Mohamed El Khatib collects real testimonials from elderly people from different social strata and uses their experiences about love and sex in the last stage of life, with humour, affection and dignity.

Getting old and ageing often imply accepting others’ gazes of one’s own body, which becomes less and less autonomous. Nonetheless, sexuality and desire seem to obey their own laws.
