with William HURT, Isabella ROSSELLINI, Doreen MANTLE, Kate ASHFIELD, Aidan MCARDLE, Arta DOBROSHI, Luke TREADAWAY, Leslie PHILLIPS, Hugo SPEER, Joanna LUMLEY, Simon CALLOW

Synopsis : In a romantic comedy a man and a woman love each other but everything conspires to drive them apart. Despite their true feelings, they separate now so they can be together later. The man and woman are Adam and Mary. But Mary and Adam aren't your typical 20 or 30-year-old couple; they're nearing 60. Like many 60-year-old couples of the XXIst century, they're high functioning. And what's more, they do it with style. They deftly juggle children, grand children, work and friends, with all the joys and disappointments that come with married life. Until one day they realize, to their great surprise, they've entered the senior category. And they react to this realization in totally opposite ways. Adam's actions are as frantic as his denial. He desperately looks for a fountain of youth. Mary decides to deal with the situation by doing what she does best: taking care of her husband and family. But her "preparations for aging", though comically malicious, frighten her friends and family. A clash soon becomes inevitable and a separation ineluctable. Children, grandchildren, parents and friends will try to reconcile them. But shouldn't they simply trust life to do that ?
