Sto Lat (100 Years)
Synopsis
A tender portrait of Julitta, a Polish woman living with Alzheimer’s in Montréal, from her 99th to 100th birthday. Through intimate footage and wartime journal entries, the film delicately weaves her present with echoes of her past as a prisoner in Siberia during World War II.
