Massett is a tour guide who leads us through a universal passage...one that he see from a mid-point and focuses our attention backwards and forward in time from his present vantage point...we all know how it will end (in the wheelchair without independent capacity to even hold one's head up)as he points out "although you can't see it, you can feel it"...he gives a sensitive portrayal of the journey without morbid dread of the furture or wishful longing for the past...it is a reconciled peaceful exposition for all of us who realize the increasing limit of our ability and ultimately our interests...
well done
oh, and the music was present, evocative without being dramatic...
