OVERVIEW

Description

To demonstrate the idea that you are never too old to travel, we created two heartfelt online videos that captured real stories narrated by real, non-actor senior citizens.

This film captures an old woman, as she recounts the milestones in her life. In a dispassionate voice, she lists events that relate to her various responsibilities and experiences. The woman, while reflective, looks back without passion or sentimentality. These events, though personally very significant, are often limited by geography. As she finishes the list, she mentions the next big milestone she is about to embark on. That's her first trip to another country.

These events, though personally very significant, are often limited by geography. As she finishes the list, she mentions the next big milestone she is about to embark on. That's her first trip to another country. At which moment, she picks up the suitcase and leaves the room.
