A tender, melancholic portrait of a long marriage tested by Alzheimer's, exploring love, loss, and the painful acceptance of change.

Fiona and Grant have been married for nearly 50 years. They have to face the fact that Fiona’s absent-mindedness is a symptom of Alzheimer’s disease. She must go to a specialized nursing home, where she slowly forgets Grant and turns her affection to Aubrey, another patient in the home.
