From one of the rare two-time winners of Cannes' Palme d'Or, Denmark's Bille August, comes a beautiful meditation on autumnal love.

In midlife, two soul mates finally meet and their passion is fueled by their love of music.

Famous composer Martin meets concertmaster Barbara at one of his performances, and the two fall in love. After divorcing their spouses, Martin and Barbara marry and begin a happy life together. Five years later, as the couple is working on a new opera, Martin is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. As Martin's condition worsens and his personality changes, the couple strain to hold on to the love that once brought them together.
