Jackie the Wolf

Jackie looks great. Other than a tremor in her hands she has no visible age-related problems. Even so, at the age of 76 she decides to voluntarily die two years later, saying that her life has been fulfilled and there’s no sense in waiting for the inevitable health issues to arrive and make her a burden on her loved ones. As the crucial date approaches, Jackie begins to have doubts. She looks for meaning in the final phase of her life, and the subject of death is an essential matter of freedom for her. Without pathos, the film works around themes such as loneliness and melancholy in the elderly, and presents compelling evidence that, unlike the body, the human soul doesn’t age. (One World)
