TWO STRANGERS TRYING NOT TO KILL EACH OTHER

30 years after a chance encounter, Maggie and Joel, aged 75 and 84, are still very much in love. But their relationship is not without complications. 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. In the shadow of mortality, each with a long and dramatic life behind them, the hard truths of life provoke in Maggie and Joel an attempt to find a shared inner peace while there is still time.
