Storyline
Georges and Anne are a couple of retired music teachers enjoying life in
their eighties. However, Anne suddenly has a stroke at breakfast and
their lives are never the same. That incident begins Anne's harrowingly
steep physical and mental decline as Georges attempts to care for her at
home as she wishes. Even as the fruits of their lives and career remain
bright, the couple's hopes for some dignity prove a dispiriting
struggle even as their daughter enters the conflict. In the end, George,
with his love fighting against his own weariness and diminished future
on top of Anne's, is driven to make some critical decisions for them
both.
