Summaries

The documentary focuses on the final year in the life of Julius Barthoff, a warm and engaged man who lived 100 years without ever slowing down. Julius had a profound hearing loss, the result of contracting diphtheria as an infant. Through Julius life experiences, the film tells a story about deafness, disability and aging in the United States. The film shows Julius at 99 and 100 years old, a lively, vibrant, and warm man deeply engaged with the world around him. We see that Julius's outlook on life, his forms of social engagement and his everyday activities are deeply affected by his hearing disability.—Anonymous
