Live Till I Die
Director
‍At Kyrkbyn, an elderly home on the outskirts of Stockholm, many of the residents will soon turn 100 years old. Wheelchaired or with very low mobility, some of them didn’t even know each other’s names until an activity coach was hired to break this solitude. With no nursing education but with personality and a bunch of ideas, Monica reawakens their youthful spirits, turning them into a playful gang who are always ready to crack an unexpected joke or participate in spa sessions, boxing lessons and themed dinners.
