OVER THE RAINBOW- film 40 min
See trailer below
After the death of her mother, 82-year-old Leny finally had the freedom to chase her lifelong dream of cycling around the world. Her journey took her only as far as New Zealand, where she met the love of her life—a woman. At 68, Leny came out as a lesbian and has since immersed herself in the vibrant community, eager to reclaim lost time. Now a source of inspiration to many, Leny is determined to live fully despite her advancing age. Her story is a uniquely positive one, free from bitterness about the past, as she embraces her newfound identity with a passion that outshines many younger people. Yet, even with all the joy in her life, she holds one regret.
