Two childhood sweethearts, now both widowed, share a night by a lake in the mountains.

Louise, an aimless, 28 year-old Brooklynite, recently single, sort of a musician, depressed without admitting to it, drunkenly falls while doing something stupid and breaks her hip. This lands her in a physical therapy ward full of people twice her age. There, she meets Antonina - a cranky elderly Polish woman, who speaks no English. Louise gets a job caring for her. Neither woman loves the arrangement but it’s time to face the truth about aging. We all have to grow up sometime.

Seventy-nine years old and overlooked since the 1970's, abstract artist Peter Bradley reflects on life and shares his artistic process on the cusp of his rediscovery.
