With the increasing of life expectancy of people, more time is spent in retirement period. Specifically, the teaching career, peculiarities are perceived and require reflections. With this, the objective was to discuss, in the context of old age and retirement, some aspects of this relationship through the analysis of the film "Common Places", especially the character Fernando, who is a retired university professor. The cinema screens are a privileged place to discuss complicated issues related to aging and old age. It was verified that, on retirement, the character experienced feelings of worthlessness (prevalent), living outside the system (exclusion), shame and guilt, when he could be able to fulfill other expectations in his new phase of life. It is considered that the analysis of the film allows discussing the issue of retirement preparation programs that can help people to avoid these kinds of feelings or to minimize them.
