Story 1 (00:00:46): Meet Maria Branyas Morera, the world's oldest person at 115 years old. Maria has lived through two World Wars, two global pandemics, and a civil war. She has offered insight into her longevity revealing that "Order, tranquility, good connection with family and friends, contact with nature, emotional stability, no worries, no regrets, lots of positivity and staying away from toxic people" are key to living a long life. Despite losing her father to pulmonary tuberculosis and permanently losing her hearing in one ear, Maria has three children, 11 grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren. She is also believed to be the oldest person to have recovered from COVID-19.
Story 2 (00:14:25): From 13 foster homes to Oscar nominee, the inspiring story of Barry Keoghan. His performance in The Banshees of Inisherin has received an Oscar nomination, solidifying him as a strong contender in the awards season. Keoghan played the role of Dominic Kearney in the film, a deceptively sharp young man who played a crucial role in the story. Despite a childhood marred by hardship, including his mother passing away and being placed in foster care, Keoghan developed his acting skills through school plays and watching films by sneaking into the cinema. He has appeared in a variety of films and television shows, including Dunkirk, The Killing of the Sacred Deer, Chernobyl, Eternals, and Joker in deleted scene from The Batman. This is his first Oscar nomination and it's seen as a capstone moment in his inspiring journey, and it's likely not the last time he will be nominated for an Oscar.
