The Todds, retired octogenarians, live a simple but full life by the river in rural Ontario until a sudden change in their health forces a change in their lives. Their old routine of tending the garden and visiting with friends is replaced by hospital stays and home care. And even though the couple's tenderness and mutual care soften the reality of diminishing strength, Hénaut's film reveals a gritty, sensitive look at the human aging process. Written by NFB See less
