Description

Alice and Peter are a newly retired couple, looking forward to the next phase in their lives together, but on a retirement cruise, their differences – and a long-kept secret of Alice’s best friend – are revealed.


Alice had hoped this trip would infuse fresh life into their marriage, but instead of enjoying their time together, they find themselves drifting further apart. Disappointed and hurt, Alice doesn’t reboard the cruise ship during a shore excursion, and instead embarks on a journey of self-discovery, taking her across Southern Europe and bringing her into a community of older people finding joy outside traditional notions of marriage and the later years of one’s life.


Alice and Peter’s relationship must evolve as they not only find themselves, but new ways to spend their golden years in this warm and affectionate comedy.
