Saw this at the Lone Star International Film Festival. Director Jared Scheib had taken the life of a retirement facility in North Dallas and turned it into a senior soap opera that is poignant and funny. The Mayor is an insightful look at senior life. Sam Berger stands out as an octogenarian who does not let his age stop him from loving and living like a 60 year old! Although the film focuses on the relationship with his latest girlfriend, it also explores the relationships of others at the retirement facility, including a married couple and a widow. I especially loved the ending which shows even greater insight to the life of a senior. This was 85 minutes of pure enjoyment.
