Gerontophilia

A Montreal teenager, Lake, with a "penchant for pensioners" takes a job in an assisted-care facility and falls in love with Mr. Peabody, an 82 year old patient who is drugged daily to keep him in a semi-catatonic state.  Lake slowly weans him from the drugs and eventually spirits him away on a road trip to see the Pacific Ocean, Mr. Peabody's dream.  Unconventional [to say the least] director, Bruce  LaBruce, directs this sweet film with a warm, gentle hand.  There are moments that may disturb the less open-minded but this film explores much more about aging than the sexual issues that the title implies.
