主演：PaulFreeman/AlunArmstrong/PeterMcNamara/AntonSaunders/KarlJohnso导演：JonJones语言：英语地区:英国编剧：托尼·格朗兹类型：剧情上映时间：2004-08-04 别名：WhenI'm64用户标签：英语发音，中文字幕,同志,情感题材,电影,同性懸念,爱情真伟大,很棒,推荐片长：90分钟imdb编号：tt0402714他从学校荣休，没有了工作他心中满是失落，
他有子女绕膝，却没人能了解他的真正想法。
两个花甲老人因寂寞而走到一起，互相支持，互相关爱。一起鉴赏邮票,一起粉刷房间，一起购物逛街。Jim褪去Ray的衣服在他肩头温情一吻，轻轻抚摸他老去的肌肤上暗淡的纹身，一道道疤痕，在我看来比任何一条gayline中的帅男肉搏都更令人心生萌意。
片尾两个老头携手坐上出租，驶向心仪已久的波斯瓦纳，直接就是QAF老年版。
