This movie takes the touching, sincere tear-jerker into another world: men, growing old, making new friends, and dealing with the problems of aging. As time goes by, it is disclosed that the two main characters are both gay, from vastly different backgrounds, who are delighted to discover a true friend so late in life. One, Phillipe, owned a successful antiques business, the other, Victor, was never well off, and has to deal with being deserted by his grown children. Both suffer from disabilities brought on by aging, and initially meet when Phillipe moves into the same nursing home as Victor (but in a much nicer room). From this start a true and loving friendship blossoms, to the delight of both men (and the audience). Then, as happens in real life, things take a turn for the worse and you better have some tissues available. A glowing, loving celebration of the human spirit which I will remember fondly for the rest of my life. Find this film (French-Canadian) and Watch It!
