1h 9m
The ultimate coming-of-age movie. With a combined age of almost 300, Hetty, Rose and Alison love to share their concerns on everything from terrorism and global warming to sex, death and the meaning of life. Rose, at 101, is the oldest newspaper columnist in the world; Hetty, 102, is still marching against war; and Alison, 88, a one-time Communist Party member is now a self-styled 'establishment lady'. Surprising, passionate and at times very funny, they speak honestly from the end of life, bringing to the screen a rare perspective on old age. The Time of Their Lives reveals the everyday mystery of how very old people experience life and the intense challenges that old age brings. Like first-hand witnesses reporting back from the edge of their own mortality, Hetty, Rose and Alison tell us things which are never spoken of.
