Kings Point (NR)

synopsis

Director Sari Gilman tells the stories of five seniors living in a typical American retirement resort--men and women who came to Florida decades ago with their spouses by their sides and their health intact, and now find themselves grappling with love, loss, and the prospect of dying alone. A bittersweet look at our national obsession with self-reliance, Kings Point explores the dynamic tension between living and aging--between our desire for independence and our need for community--and underscores our powerful ambivalence toward growing old.
