Two people dance together. A person with long blonde hair is being held close by a person in a blue dress shirt with short brown hair as they hold hands. In the background we see a blurred image of a couple dancing with some small stagelights.



Billy and Maggie have been married for over 40 years.

Having moved away from home and family to set up Bill’s dentistry business in the United States, the couple face a new challenge when Maggie’s health begins to deteriorate.

As the couple reminisce, their home fills with their memories and the presence of their younger selves, and the moving story of their lifelong relationship comes vividly to life.
