Thirty years after a chance encounter, Maggie and Joel are still very much in love. But their relationship is not without complications. Born in the hard-boiled Bronx, Joel Meyerowitz (84) is a world-renowned photographer with major exhibitions and 40 books to his name. British-born Maggie Barrett (75) is a talented but less recognised artist and writer. There is a knot of unease in their relationship, which is further strained when Maggie falls and breaks her leg and Joel becomes her caregiver. 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.
