DOCUMENTARY FEATURE. On the outside, it looks like any ordinary seniors’ facility. But on the inside, a series of remarkable love stories is unfolding. With startlingly intimate access, director Dominique Keller follows three different couples as they navigate the delights and challenges of late-in-life romance. Following the daily routines in the facility, Keller peers into the kingdom of old age and brings each couple’s journey into tender focus. Ruby wants more of a commitment from Victor, who has his own ideas about their relationship. Jim and Dianne are seeking greater independence and a place together, while George and his wife Doreen face end-of-life decisions. Despite health concerns, mobility issues, and interference from concerned families, the need for intimate connection and closeness remains steadfast. As the seasons pass outside the walls of the facility, the film’s immersion in the quotidian details of life and love offers audiences the opportunity to know these people. Quietly observational, Love: The Last Chapter builds fully embodied portraits of each individual in all of their indelible humanity.
