The Enlightenment of Old Chap
2021, Cantonese. Directed by Carmen Hau.
Aging is not all doom and gloom but can be super-duper fun. In a village far, far away from the city live a zany group of elderlies. Old Chap is a Chinese medicine doctor without a single patient, lascivious Old Ben is wheelchair-bound and confined in the village, while Moses the spiritual “flower child” always tries to connect with Mother Nature. When Chiara, Old Chap's granddaughter, appears suddenly as she decides to take a gap year from studying and turns Old Chap’s life upside down by putting on a pole dance show in his clinic, how will Old Chap reconcile with the shock of the new?
