Older bodies are hidden and forgotten as if they were steeped in negativity. In this film we are faced with these bodies, naked and happy, on a day-to-day of a beach in Lisbon area. After all, aren't these bodies beautiful, happy, full of life? Why do we refuse to see ourselves in those bodies, if they are ultimately the testimony of a long and rich experience? In "A Praia" (The Beach), the elderly come back to active life, they leave the places of suffering or loneliness, contempt or scorn they sadly inhabit in contemporary societies. They play, swim, run, have fun. They are back to being people like everyone else. Written by https://reddesertfilms.com/productions/the-beach/ See less
