Fiona and Grant Anderson, married for 40 years, face up to her progressive Alzheimer’s disease. Moving to a home, she develops an affection for a fellow patient, and the buried secrets of a marriage emerge.
The tragedy and sometimes humour of the disease are beautifully portrayed by Julie Christie (nominated for an Oscar Best Actress) and Gordon Pinsent, in this deeply intelligent début by the young Canadian director Sarah Polley, adapted from a story by Alice Munro.
