To live life while facing letting IT GO
LIVE TILL I DIE – Short Documentaries from Elderly Homes, is a series that depicts what life and work in an elderly home can be like - with focus on relationships and quality of life. We meet residents, staff and relatives in situations close to reality. It's about being able to cry, laugh, experience new things and build trusting relationships. To be seen as old and not sick, as a whole person and not someone who just needs to be looked after, life in a nursing home is like life in general - full of both joy, sadness and boredom. Unexpected situations, such as when a chicken dies, offer the opportunity for both tearful laughs and processing of the fact that we are all going to die.
