The documentary chooses nonagenarian Susan as its protagonist. After a life lived long and well, Susan now shares her reflections on existence in a heartfelt manner. The candid conversation, though brief, is defined by a rare meaningfulness that suffuses a much-needed sense of hope in a world where otherwise stories of heartbreaking realities abound.
Despite having lived decade after decade where an overwhelming conflict or war always consumed at least some part of the world, Susan’s steadfast dream for a realm that has managed to overcome the many divisive forces of hate and cruelty comes across with impact and clarity.
The screenplay ties up the articulate candor of its protagonist with mood shots to further drive the message home. The end result, consequently, becomes a purposeful whole that is not only defined by the uplifting intelligence as well as a reflection on life by its protagonist but also by the technical know-how and storytelling skills of the entire team behind it.
