A one & a two
Description
This is a portrait of Angelo, a widower after thirty-seven years of marriage, as he begins to build a new life. During the process of "starting over," he discovered afternoon ballroom dancing -- a new passion that is becoming a senior phenomenon. Set against his adventures on the dance floor in search of female companionship, are his down -to- earth descriptions of the adjustments he has had to make. He had depended on his wife for so much in life --preparing his meals, balancing his checkbook, selecting his clothes, and explaining his actions or reactions to his children. Now he must deal with issues of loneliness, retirement, finances, courtship and fathering all by himself -- at the same time as he learns how to date. This is an encouraging film about the potential of people to grow and enjoy life in their later years.
