     Choosing life in life's  final chapter is the poignant subtext of Next  Year Jerusalem, a lyrical portrait of eight nursing home residents  who make a pilgrimage to Israel.  
 
Offered a seat on the bus for the tour, we accompany these individuals across  stunning Israeli sites and landscapes, from mountains to desert. But the film  is less a story about tourists in a foreign land than it is a meditation on the  sanctity of the human experience and the wisdom acquired over a lifetime.  
 
Surprisingly uplifting, Next  Year Jerusalem is a true exploration of living and dying, hope and  fear, and travel and memory...a celebration of - and a tribute to - life's eldest  travelers.
