I'm afraid of getting old

I especially like the beginning of the film, the connection between music and pictures is smooth and comfortable. Watching this movie reminds me of the seniors choir in the park. The background is changed to the United Kingdom, the location is the (specialist) nursing home, and the opera is sung in the film. :)

There is an impressive scene where Jane goes back to her room by herself to listen to her previous successful work after a falling out with three old friends over dinner. Lonely, sad, unable to surpass one's own sense of helplessness after old age, unable to maintain a high level of loss. She would probably think: Where have I been, the young self-righteous one?

Even though I am young, I still agree with these two sentences:
I do hate getting older. I hate every bloody moment of it. (Wilfred)
