She Wants Your Youth

Leila (25), a well-known influencer terrified of aging, faces a reputation crisis after making controversial comments about older people. To repair the damage and try to save her promising career, she must participate in the campaign “Take Care of a Grandparent”—which involves spending a day with an elderly person living alone. Leila is required to film a video doing an activity with Jacinta (70), the woman assigned to her. But Jacinta doesn’t make things easy and will force Leila to confront her deepest fears face to face.
