Germain, an introspective retiree, abruptly becomes a widower at 75. He barely has the time to realize what has happened to him before his family forces their way into his daily life: non-stop phone calls and visits, meals and activities organized in advance – all meant to make his life as regular as clockwork. But Germain’s mind is elsewhere. Honoring a promise he made to his dear departed wife, he suddenly finds himself at the heart of a contemporary dance company’s newest work.

“’Last Dance’ is a warm film.. it is about the art of mourning and how it can provide comfort by doing what a deceased loved one liked to do. But it is also about (suffocating) family ties and respecting someone…it is difficult not to be enchanted by the rousing music and the fascinating dancers. The well-made ‘Last Dance’ is therefore a film in which everyone – regardless of age – can find something of recognition.”–Monica Meijer: Cinemagazine (translated from Dutch)
