After working in different trades of cinema such as sound production and cinematography, Shevaun Mizrahi captures on her first feature film pressing matters: how is life really like in old age? What happens when the world has changed so much that there is no place for the eldest? Through endearing interviews to a handful of old persons who live in a retirement house in Turkey, Distant Constellation delves in the quiet everyday life in retirement, but without the intention of sweetening how painful it is to grow old. The documentary portrays with tenderness and amazement the wonders that still lives in the mind, the memories, and the heart of its protagonists.
