Overview
After his daughter persuades him to move into a new apartment, aged widower Fred strikes up a friendship with his eccentric 74-year-old neighbour Elsa, who convinces him it's never too late to keep enjoying life. Although he seemed resigned to a miserable bedridden existence, Fred embraces Elsa's youthful enthusiasm as she introduces him to the path of life and entertains him with outlandish stories about her past life. But when he discovers Elsa's terminally ill, Fred decides to accompany her on the trip of her dreams to the eternal city of Rome to help her fulfil a lifelong ambition.

Featured Comments/Tips
Plummer and MacLaine work well together, but unfortunately, the script doesn'#39;t do their performances justice. Still, there is a nice attempt to try to recreate La Dolce Vita'#39;s fountain scene near the end, so it'#39;s not all bad.
What an amazing movie Acting is suburb And Shirley maclaine and Christopher plummer should have won Oscars for their roles...10/10 It'#39;s pulls on the heart strings....
