Overview

After his daughter persuades him to move into a new apartment, aged widower Fred strikes up a friendship with his eccentric 74-year-old neighbour Elsa, who convinces him it's never too late to keep enjoying life. Although he seemed resigned to a miserable bedridden existence, Fred embraces Elsa's youthful enthusiasm as she introduces him to the path of life and entertains him with outlandish stories about her past life. But when he discovers Elsa's terminally ill, Fred decides to accompany her on the trip of her dreams to the eternal city of Rome to help her fulfil a lifelong ambition.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A tender, gently comedic portrait of two lonely older people discovering unexpected companionship and vitality in each other. It's warm and life-affirming without shying away from the intimacy of aging, illness, and mortality.
