If i could have a grand-ma like that

A short movie this time, The Lady in Number 6 by Malcolm Clarke, tells us the story of the oldest survivor, Alice, 109 years old. She is an emeritus pianist.
Such a beautiful face that carries a long story of history.
A grand-ma who might cook cakes but she prefers to put her fingers on a piano.
She has an amazing and enlightened smile which makes her so young for her age. To laugh, smile and take all the positivism from any situations keeps you young and sublime.

Each sentence she said, you want to copy it, to print it and to frame it like The Portrait of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. You are in the esthetic world of the meaning of life.
Her friends, musicians like she is, are in the same mood and walk on the same road than her. They met up at Theresienstadt Concentration Camp.
Alice's mother was the friend of one of my favorite writer, Franz Kafka.
Such an energy in this movie where the music is omnipresent.

She made me cry of course, but i try to respect what she said!
The death of her son is another lesson of life: how we have to enjoy it despite our woes. He never woke up after an anesthesia, but as she said, he died without pain. She insists about that! He was 64 years old. That's very young for our generations. He was a survivor too.

It's not the trailer, but 11 minutes on 38 minutes of pure happiness, watch it as often as you can when you are sad or when you feel bad. You can watch it all entirely on Netflix.

For those who are Holocaust deniers, watch it too, she doesn't even hate you!

One of her friends talks about the definition of strength: to remain quiet!
I agree with her. As a fiery person that i am, i can handle better some situations when i can remain quiet and serene.

Be inspired by Alice and her warm words! She is a Lady! A short lady by her height, but taller like the Eiffel Tower!
