THE “WORLD”’S OPINION – MUST SEE
It doesn’t take much for us to infantilize “our little old people”find them cute and suspect them of losing their minds, of driving dangerously, of being too fragile for this or that, and even out of breath… To escape preconceived ideas about senility and make the voices of those mainly concerned heard, the filmmaker of Bavarian origin Claus Drexel, who also worked in fiction, set off on the roads of France to meet many of them.
They are aged from 80 to just over 100 years old, live in Alsace, Brittany, the Basque Country, Auvergne, Corrèze, Cantal, the Cévennes, the Alps, Corsica, come from all walks of life: a baron, former fishermen, miners, farmers, shipyard workers… From these meetings over the days Drexel and his small team bring back intimate portraits, captured in fixed shots, in each person’s living spaces, at home or in nursing homes. Sitting in their living room or in their bedroom, most often alone, but also in couples or with friends, the participants share bits of their journey, states of mind, thoughts that constitute the ” selected pieces “ of the Vieux.
However simple it may be, this frontal device gives birth, with impressionist touches, to a vibrant human comedy which speaks of old age and the strong moments of a life. There are the messy ones, the maniacs, the sophisticated ones, the nostalgic ones, the “up to date”the foresighted… “I bought a “suicide, instructions for use” on the docks, but the medicines no longer exist”said one. “If I could put my head on legs, I would run like a goat”, dreams of a nonagenarian whose sagacity overturns the appearances held in a “still life” staging (still camera and seated protagonists). Of Jewish faith, a former lecturer, left alone after her family’s roundup, she thanks the gesture of a man who came to shake her hand the first day she wore the yellow star and remembers his words: “Mademoiselle, I am ashamed of being French. » ” The warshe says, that’s the only important thing. The rest is fiction. »
A stylized setting
While our elders are made invisible by our societies centered on productivism and profit, each person’s memories, often pictorial, give this French road trip the dimension of a collective history, with its semantic, social, political evolutions, over the course of decades. Many talk about 39-45, describe loneliness – to differentiate from “Isolation… it’s fatal! », explains one of them –, question their usefulness, giving food for thought. If the film sometimes has the effect of a tutorial on “advice for better living”, delivered by good people – no pettiness here – we willingly watch the past mingle with the future to consider the future in light of experience. A couple says they opened a community center to keep disadvantaged young people busy in the summer, after being robbed by them. Heroes who don’t hold grudges, then. “Uniformity does not create unity”philosophizes another.

Jessica de la Peña said that her mother was saved by a “miracle” from a serious illness
Jessica de la Peña shared a couple of weeks ago with her community of followers, news that makes her and her entire family happy, as it turns out that her mother managed to overcome a serious illness that had afflicted her for a long time.
According to what was stated by the RCN News presenter, her mother underwent surgery a year ago due to a malignant and, apparently, cancerous tumor.
“Never in our lives are we prepared for our parents to get sick or for them to grow older and lose their abilities, much less for them to give us a harsh diagnosis about their health. A year ago this happened to my mother and me. In the doctor’s words, she had a very, very malignant and very large tumor. My God, what hard days those were! I remember telling my sister and my husband that I was not ready for my mother to leave and she felt like the world was collapsing on me, but as always my faith kept me firm,” she expressed through a post on Instagram. .
And although her followers on this social network were very worried, Jessica de la Peña turned off the alarms by clarifying that, after twelve months of said intervention, her mother underwent new tests that would allow her to know her current state of health.
Fortunately for the woman and her family, everything went perfectly, at least in terms of the illness she was suffering from.
“One year after a very complicated surgery and after all his control checkups at the end of 365 days, the doctor tells us that he is free of that word that I don’t want to say. There are other ailments and things to take care of due to age, of course, but here we are all, very grateful to God and to the Virgin and very happy that we continue celebrating that she is here with us, making our lives happy. I love you chechi! “I think my mom is not going to like it very much that I published these photos of our days at the clinic and the last one is my sister and I celebrating that the surgery had been a success,” she added.
To delve much deeper into the topic, Jessica de la Peña spoke with the entertainment program ‘I know everything’, in whose interview she mentioned that, in addition to the good medical procedure she had, it was a “miracle” that healed her body.
The man who would have cleared Jessica de la Peña’s account was captured
On September 24, the Quindío Department Police reported that a person accused of committing thefts through computer means was arrested. The alleged criminal would be involved with the cases of the empty bank accounts of journalists such as Jessica de la Peña and Carlos Sarria.
According to the deputy commander of the Quindío police, Colonel William Zubieta, this subject was dedicated to the violation of personal data and abusive access to computer systems, not only in Armenia, but in other regions of the country. Using social engineering techniques, his victims gave him the keys to their bank accounts, which were then vacated and overdrawn. In the case of the renowned communicators, the stolen sum amounted to 32 million pesos.
“This investigative process allowed us to collect elements that allow us to clarify different frauds against people in the department, as well as renowned journalists Jessica de la Peña and Carlos Sarria, and entities throughout the national territory for an approximate amount of 4 billion of pesos,” mentioned the subcommander.
