- The film Wild@heART presents courageous artists in their golden age - finding themselves, creatively speaking, on the climax of their lives in the third phase. Their artistic work is to be seen as an audacious provocation in the face of a society that worships youth and beauty.

Does art keep us young? Are people who keep working into old age more agile, active and powerful? And does our society deal with art and old age?
