If I Die It'll Be of Joy

Si je meurs, ce sera de joie

Frankrike – 2024

Synopsis

81-year-old Micheline dreams vividly of orgasms and tells anyone who will listen that she is burning with desire.
At 70, Francis is a seasoned activist who relentlessly challenges societal taboos around old age.
68-year-old Yves feels like a shell in a stormy sea, desperately seeking love.

In a world that underestimates the power of the elderly, these three are part of an activist group who refuse to accept and conform to society's stereotypes based on prejudices, but instead redefine and reinvent their sexuality and love, making all of us rethink our notions of old age.

A beautiful, honest and intimate film, proving that there is much power left in the generations that came before us - a film you won't soon forget.
