Last Dance

Audience Award at the Locarno Film Festival of 2022 for a tender film from Switzerland that reminds us in an emotionally generous way that old age is never a barrier to rebirth, joy and the transformative power of art.

Synopsis

At the age of 75, Germain, a contemplative and homely man, finds himself a widower struggling to cope with his children's overwhelming concerns. True to a promise he made to his wife years ago, he is going to have to take his place in a contemporary dance production, in secret from his family.
