Just trying to rescue some old treasures from the box. Harold and Maude is about the contrast between a well resolved third age, and a problematic start of adult age. The story is about the romance of an 18 years old boy, and a 79 years old lady. The first one has a melancolic life, and a strange obsession with death stuff, what means he is not really happy with his life… the second one, Maude, is in the end of her life, she likes to enjoy every little second of her existence. So, you can imagine how the movie is There is a book about this too, but, it was made before the movie, its not a really good one, its better to watch.
