When old bears go to the mountain for the last time, they aren't just digging their den - they're digging their graves. Through the interweaving of family stories with the final days of bears in the Alaskan wilderness, "The Old Bear" reflects on what nature can teach us about parenthood, aging, and death. Explorer Casey Anderson has traveled to Alaska to observe the grizzly bears preparing for the winter. However, although he is surrounded by much younger animals, he finds himself gravitating to the old bears. He meditates on what these bears could teach humans about a life well lived and age gracefully accepted. Through personal reflections, he processes the aging process and growing decline of his own father, how having children has affected his own perspective of life and death, and what it means to surrender to the wild. Through poetic, surprising, and contemplatively paced footage of the old bears and the stunning Alaskan landscapes, we share in Casey's observations about transitions and death in the wilderness. It is set to a haunting original score by American composer M. G. Clark. Through the artful melding of the words and images, the old bears become guides into a life gracefully lived.
