Fin de la vida • Muerte y moribundo • Vida humana y dignidad humana • Amor y conexión humana • Estudios judíos

Detrás de una valla blanca, en una calle suburbana corriente, descubrimos a Eli Timoner, quien fundó Air Florida, la aerolínea de más rápido crecimiento en el mundo en los años 1970. Durante sus últimos días, descubrimos su extraordinaria vida llena de éxitos increíbles y reveses devastadores y, lo más importante, una bondad innata que le valió el amor duradero y el apoyo de su familia. A través de impresionantes imágenes reales grabadas por su hijo mediano, LAST FLIGHT HOME lleva al público a un viaje desgarrador a través de la vida de Timoner, ilustrando una historia de éxito moderna basada en el poder de la conexión humana. Ondi Timoner, dos veces ganadora del Gran Premio del Jurado al Documental Estadounidense del Festival de Cine de Sundance ( DIG!, WE LIVE IN PUBLIC ), regresa al festival con una película verité intensamente íntima sobre el desgarrador viaje de su familia para encontrar un cierre. Al abrir sus vidas para ofrecer una visión esclarecedora de una experiencia universal, demuestran la gracia y la conexión que pueden surgir al aceptar la muerte. A través de la risa y la alegría, comparten un legado duradero que demuestra cómo podemos vivir, incluso cuando morimos.

La película trata directamente los conceptos de vida y muerte y muestra a alguien que ha vivido con dolor físico la mayor parte de su vida. Aunque estos son conceptos difíciles, uno de los mensajes de la película es no rehuirlos, son tan importantes como pesados.

It was a meaningful reminder of the power of collective action and the strength that comes from alliances across communities.”
