About Miami: A nursing home for rich party lovers | "Golden Age" - Documentary, 2019
The Palace in Miami is the last home of party-loving seniors and a thriving business. The owners of the company put it in a nutshell when they say: Old and sick always will be. This is the best business to be in. The documentary "Golden Age" explores the everyday life in this buzzing senior living community with its very own and contemporary understanding of retirement: Loud, extravagant and glamorous. But even the fanciest parties, the sparkling interiors and the finest buffets can not disguise the daily struggles of aging. Its tough to leave home, to feel the body getting weaker and to miss the spouse who has passed away. As a whole, the demanding residents and the well-trained staff of The Palace try their best to turn the final phase of life into an exciting one. Loud parties and glamour line up in an existential contest against loneliness, slackening limbs and weariness. Original title: Golden Age A film by Beat Oswald © 2019, Licensed by First Hand Films
