Can life begin again at age 94? This intimate film addresses the taboos of cross-generational relationships and challenges the traditional notion of "graceful aging" with an entertaining yet poignant portrayal of a passionate elderly artist who continues to love, to grieve, and to live a complete life that is well beyond the society's expectations.
94-year-old Hawai'i-born 'ukulele pioneer Bill Tapia is a sharp dresser, a naughty jokester, and an irresistible charmer. After the recent death of his wife and only daughter, Bill gave up on music, his vocation and passion for over 80 years. Unexpectedly, he finds a new soul mate in his 26-year-old manager, Alyssa. With Alyssa by his side, Bill rediscovers not only his musical zeal but also his youthful spirit. Understandably, he falls for her. What follows is a painful heartbreak, a resurrected music career, and Bill's inspired realization to live life to the fullest, even at age 94.

"The wonderful lesson to be learned form this delightful film is that if Hawaiian musician Bill Tapia can create a new life for himself at age 94, we should all be inspired to live our lives as meaningfully as possible, despite our losses."

Wireless Users:
To bring as much quality to your streamed video as possible, each film is streamed at the highest practical bitrate, balancing speed with quality.
Generally speaking, wireless connections are a smaller connection (maximum of 54bps), and may sometimes result in "choppy" viewing of the film when bandwidth or connection strength is reduced. If you are on a slower connection of any kind, we recommend that you select a lower bitrate to stream your film.
