Charlyne Genoud – Respirer une fois sur trois
by Charlyne Genoud
Documentary, 17min To ward off the curse of osteoporosis that hangs over the women in her family, the filmmaker's mother urges her to exercise. She joins a strength-training class attended by older women who love to sing and share coffee together. From one burst of laughter to the next, they transform this ordinary place into a refuge that nurtures both body and mind. In their company, the filmmaker explores her relationship to her mother's fragility and attempts to rethink her own perception of old age.
