24HoursX90Years

"Aunt Sara lives alone. Never been married, she has lived once
with her parents, then, since 20 years ago, with her younger
sister. She has never needed to work to live. At the age of forty
she has decided to teach because she was little bored; an
activity like crochet, reading, cooking cakes, charity work. Now,
that she is ninety, she is always occupied all day long. To spend
a journey with her is like to live in a timeless tale that it repeats
all days: each hour has an habitude, a light, an object, a
movement, a sound."
A generation who lives between past and present. I'm truly
fascinated by these old and smarty people that, more than all of
us, lives constantly switching from the old era to our now,
trying to move with the times, protecting themselves in their
timeless world.
