NYC PREMIERE At 100 years old, Dr. Howard Tucker has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's oldest practicing doctor. Told through the eyes of his loving grandson, the film follows the spirited, curious, elegant, and quirky neurologist as he begins to slow down and grapple with aging, social media, and computer technology for the first time. A fun and loving ode to living a meaningful life and gracefully keeping one’s own identity. - Ruth Somalo
