Married artists Joel Meyerowitz and Maggie Barrett share a strong, loving bond, but life provides its challenges. Thirty years after a chance encounter, Maggie and Joel, aged 75 and 84, are still very much in love. But their relationship is not without complications. Born in the hard-boiled Bronx, Joel is a world-renowned photographer with major exhibitions and 40 books to his name. British-born Maggie is a talented but less recognised artist and writer. There is a knot of unease in their relationship, which is further strained Joel must take on more caring responsibilities. In the shadow of mortality, each with a long and dramatic life behind them, the hard truths of life together provoke in Maggie and Joel an attempt to find a shared inner peace while there is still time. With unique access to the couple's lives, directors Jacob Perlmutter and Manon Ouimet and have created an intimiate, profoundly moving and often very witty film about life and ageing.
