Synopsis
"The Personals" follows a group of senior citizens as they rehearse and perform an original play at a community theater on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
Drawn from the comedy and drama of the senior's lives, the play features elderly people looking for dates through the personal ads. As the rehearsals progress, the camera turns to the individual members of the group in their homes in the attempt to uncover both the joys and sorrows of growing old in America.
With longing for love, sex, and relationships as its theme, "The Personals" depicts a surprisingly humorous and in-depth portrait of a not-often-seen segment of our society.
