The love of dance and glitter bonds an unlikely group of 60+ women in Southwest Florida – Calendar Girls. But under the veil of fake lashes and unicorn horns lurks the deeper truths of what aging women face within society. Sisterhood, love, loss – all come into play in this uplifting film about trying to age on your own terms and refusal to become invisible. Watch the trailer here.
This award-winning Sundance documentary will have its U.S. theatrical premiere at the Coral Gables Art Cinema. The film opens on September 30 with a red carpet reception and a Calendar Girls performance!
