Nine To Ninety
2014 · Documentary · 29 min. · United States
Nine To Ninety explores delicate moments of aging through the intimate perspectives of three generations of an Italian American family. 89 year-old Phyllis Sabatini is 4-foot 7-inches but stands tall as the feisty matriarch of a tight-knit family that she loves - and on whom she is determined not to be a burden. While her husband of 62 years, Joe, seems to have given up, Phyllis watches her daughter struggle to care for everyone from nine to ninety, and makes a radical decision to lighten her load. Leaving home is difficult at any age, but Phyllis takes a chance that sometimes, the best way to say 'I love you' is to say 'goodbye.'
