-- Dir. Zara Zerny - 2023 - 76min - Denmark --
When 86-year-old Rene buys flowers, he always thinks about what color his wife would have chosen if she were alive. Like most people in this film, he spent more time with this partner than without. Through candid, revealing interviews, Echo of You presents a group of Danish men and women, all aged 80+.
With poignant openness and honesty, they share their thoughts on their life partnerships; lost loves who, one way or another, are no longer with them. They discuss the heartbreak of losing a life partner, and the ways in which life goes on. Filmmaker Zara Zerny, tenderly brings their individual voices together like a choir, interweaving them with abstract, dreamy images, music and artistic interpretations of their inner lives. Together, they form a collection of diverse perspectives on love, life, loneliness and death, merging into a unique body of
testimony.
A sensuous, life-affirming portrait of a generation slowly saying goodbye.
