A diverse group of 30 seniors in Rochester, New York participates in an unprecedented speed dating event for people in their 70s, 80s, and 90s. Over the course of one summer, ten single seniors who are widowed, divorced or never married take stock of their emotional needs and desires, endure a rush of encounters, then anxiously receive their results. Then, as they head out on dates that result, these fearlessly candid seniors reveal how worries over issues of romance, physical appearance, and social acceptance endure. Comic and bittersweet, The Age of Love takes a modern look at our booming older population, and tells a story of the universality of love and desire, regardless of age.
