TWO STRANGERS TRYING NOT TO KILL EACH OTHER

Life, death and making meaning are the heart of a beautiful and often very funny film about Maggie Barrett and Joel Meyerowitz, an ageing artist couple who, after an accident, face the inevitability of impermanence and seek a deep peace in their relationship while they still can. When artist Maggie Barrett (75) breaks her femur, her husband Joel Meyerowitz (84), a world-famous photographer, becomes her caregiver. In the shadow of mortality, each with a long and dramatic life behind them, the hard truths of life together provoke in Maggie and Joel an attempt to find a shared inner-peace while there is still time.
