synopsis

En

Jaap and Maartje have been together for almost 50 years. When they receive a letter from an old holiday friend, Maartje manages to convince her reluctant husband that they should visit him in southern Europe. After many years without travelling, the pair get into their old car to go on a journey through a completely changed Europe. They bicker all the way, but the journey also stirs up old memories. Meanwhile, Jaap comes to the painful conclusion that his wife is showing increasing signs of dementia. Realising that everything is about to change, they rediscover just what it is they love about each other.
