Filmed over a year, this documentary has a lot to say about personal and intimate interaction, how it’s affected by creativity, recognition, fame and ageing.
Thirty years after a chance encounter, Maggie and Joel, aged 75 and 84, are still very much in love. But their relationship is complicated and prickly. Born in the tough Bronx, Joel Meyerowitz is a world-renowned photographer with major exhibitions and 40 books to his name. British-born Maggie Barrett is a talented but less recognised artist and writer. The unease between them is further strained when Maggie breaks her leg and Joel becomes her carer. In the shadow of mortality, with a long and dramatic life behind each of them Maggie and Joel attempt to find a shared inner peace while there is still time.
