Summary/Abstract: The author refers to the educational role of film, which can help shape the attitudes of young people so that they can actively accompany seniors and take steps to prepare for a dignified and committed experience of their own “evening” of existence. She indicates that film narratives showing adaptations to the last stage of existence can take various forms. The memorising perspective of the journey into the depths of oneself as a tool for searching for knowledge and acquiring new skills was particularly highlighted.
