Full Frame Jury Award for Best Short 2000

NEW DOCS

This stirring and beautifully photographed short film tells of the last days of Clarence, a Nebraska farmer and patriarch whose family must face putting him in a retirement home at the end of his years. Told with sincere feeling, the film documents the decision-making process and passage of a fiercely independent 92-year-old.
