I'm Old!

 

Walter is a retired grandfather whose wife has died and is living with his son Felix, daughter-in-law, Katherine, and their child, Scott. Walter goes about his daily business as usual while Katherine believes that Walter is unable to take care of himself and needs to be placed into assisted living. Felix, who is at first unwilling to move his father out of the house, is finally persuaded by his wife to make the arrangements with Golden Years Retirement Center. Once finally moved in, Walter is shown the ropes by another elderly man, Oscar. He meets the overenthusiastic staff, and an eclectic group of elderly women, all of whom push Walter's limits. 

 

Sidewalk

 

The film focuses on a street corner that features a series of performers and the four sidewalks that lead up to this corner.  On each sidewalk is a different character walking towards the corner, and varied cinematic styles are presented.  The characters must deal with numerous events on the sidewalks, while maintaining their personal objectives.  One walker is a businessman; another is a jogger, and the third, a delivery person. The final walker is a performer heading towards the corner to show her talent. She is yearning for acceptance and shows a great deal of determination.

 

Tales of a Bus Ride

 

Three people riding the bus share stories about the adventurous, cynical, and comical aspects of love. Spencer, confident but young, is intrigued by Patrice, an older woman who sees Spencer as the fifteen-year old freshman he is. Spencer tries to impress Patrice with a heroic “love conquers all” story, and she retorts with her own dramatic tale that contradicts his entirely.  This battle is interrupted by Millie, a whimsical, slightly intoxicated woman with her own comical farce.
