The Age of Adaline


On the 8th of May 2015, a girl called Carolina was feeling very anxious. Not because of coming up school exams or a medical appointment she was extremely nervous to go to. She was just anxious...
She decided to do something about it and so she got ready, left the house and went to wonder about in a shopping center.
When she got there she wondered through a few stores and bought some things to pamper herself. But the anxiety levels were still very high and so she went to the cinema and bought a single ticket.
A movie was probably the one thing that would calm her down. (Being in a dark room full - or empty - of strangers is quite relaxing, some might say!)
When she got there, there was only one woman in the room... but as the minutes went by the room started filling up. When the movie started everyone went silent!

At last the anxiety levels had dropped and Carolina was calm & relaxed!

"The Age of Adaline" is a story about a girl who, just after losing her husband and being left with a 5 year old daughter, suffers a terrible car accident. From that moment on her life changes completely... she stops aging.
At first it's not noticeable but as the years go by and her daughter starts getting older, people start wondering why she looks so youthful!
One day a police officer stops her on the road and notices she looks too young to be 45 years old. And from that moment Adaline starts a new chapter in her life, a chapter where she will not remain in the same place for over 10 years, a chapter where she'll always run away and become a new person.


During the movie Carolina found herself experiencing a lot of mixed emotions and there were times when she wanted to cry because she truly connected with Adaline. There was something about her that Carolina found quite special!

If like Carolina you sometimes find yourself trapped in a world where you feel like no one understands you then go and see this movie. Carolina couldn't find someone to connect with in the real world but she most certainly did it in the imagination world!
Love,
