" Im 25 right now, and i just feel that this is the limit of my youth."

I don't see youth limited to the young

It's a state of being

A very thought provoking movie. I have created two videoa of my own for Saga which aims to challenge perceptions people have of those over 50... I would be grateful if people would give that a look too! They are located on my channel.

@agedvolunteer yes we know that, but she didn't know - and that is the point of the video.

In her day, men were head of the house and took all financial responsibility. Wives stayed at home and did all the housework, got changed for the husband coming home and looked after the kids. The elderly when they couldn't cope, moved in with a daughter and family but now women have to work and are too busy to cope with looking after the old so they become isolated and no-one cares. So sad.

What a traditionalist movie
