When the doctor announced me that my mother, aged 94 had just a few weeks to live, I left my home and came back to Belgium to say her goodbye. But my mother decided that the time to pass away has not yet come. We shared together weeks and months of uncertainty and mystery. I found myself filming hours of incredible conversations, humoristic situations, poetic moments. "TWILIGHT OF A LIFE " is a unique document that proves that Old Age can be approached without fear, with humor and tenderness ! "It is a great challenge for you" says my mother in the film. "But you have to do it in a tough way. I build something for the future, not for the past !" she says. This film will touch a billion people facing old age in their daily life. It is a film that will give hope to everyone ! REVIEW: Filmkommentaren PRESS IMAGES: (click to preview)
