L'érotisme et le vieil âge

Synopsis

In this era in which youth is held sacred, is there a strong taboo regarding sexuality and the elderly? The director is determined to find out by interviewing various specialists, public figures and people of the golden age. Meanwhile, actress Louise Portal meets young people to ask if they believe their grandparents have a sex life. Gerontologists confirm that even if the body gets tired, desire remains.

Like most participants, author Janette Bertrand praises the virtues of sensuality and tenderness. A few years after the death of his longtime companion Domini Blythe, director Jean Beaudin talks about the pain of losing her and how he misses the intimate moments they shared.
