Deeper Than Y

Deeper Than Y Synopsis

DEEPER THAN Y is a feature length, humorous and touching documentary questioning 8 eccentric elderly New Yorkers about relationships, politics, careers, and aging, while they faithfully attend the same water exercise class at the Vanderbilt YMCA.

Which one of them will you be at 80?

Will you spend your days in "God's waiting room", an airless senior community, or embrace an unpredictable varied life in New York City? Will you be writing a script for Steven Spielberg or calculating the exact tip after your early bird special? Will you still slow dance with your wife or sleep in separate bedrooms?

After the director of the film taught their water exercise class for two years, her elderly students opened up to her about relationships, pasts, politics, careers, and their insecurities about aging.

The result is DEEPER THAN Y, an enlightening, heartfelt, and humorous journey through the lives of seven people, many of whom you might have passed on the street without giving a second look, people who not only impact the realities, fragilities, and humor of old age but also share their enduring hope for human possibility.
