The life of an Old Man is viewed unfolding before us, jumping like memory through time and through everyday spaces with the blinking quickness of an edit. From shot to shot and from screen to screen, a life re-editing itself. Through the ‘old’ eyes of the central character, we glimpse anew the details of our ordinary world and time.
