Synopsis

Maxine, a feisty, bitter Alzheimer’s victim, doesn’t want to move into a nursing facility but when she meets Joe, a widower who shares her love for dance, her outlook begins to change. Although the two clash when lucid, their hazy memories overlap, and they begin an affair that rejuvenates and fulfils them. But can these lovers – played simultaneously by an elderly twosome and a young, vivacious couple — stay together despite their families wishes and their fading vitality?
