Old age is no barrier to wishful thinking; in fact it may be the time we can indulge in our most provocative fantasies. Madame Spinoza and Dr. Ramsbottom, denizens of an old age home and confined to their wheelchairs, are off on their wildest travels to seek the fountain of youth. Along the way they are assisted by memories of the past and resisted by the future of flaming youth. The vision ends with their nightly medication. Also available on the DVD compilation “James MacSwain Retrospective.”
