This acclaimed documentary offers a raw and beautiful look at the lives of artist Maggie Barrett (75) and her husband, world-famous photographer Joel Meyerowitz (84). When Maggie suffers a broken femur, the dynamic of their relationship shifts as Joel steps into the role of caregiver.

Why You Should See It *The Guardian* praised the film as "a powerful insight into a life shared by two charismatic creatives." It’s a poignant exploration of mortality, the challenges of aging, and the enduring nature of love. Set against the backdrop of their long and dramatic lives, the film captures their attempt to find shared inner peace while there is still time.
