This screening is an European premiere. Following this screening, there will be a Q&A with director Mike Doyle and writer/actor Noam Ash.

In this heartfelt dramedy, millenial novel writer Nate moves in with his grandparents after a bad breakup, in a neighbourhood filled with just seniors. Two generations' life experiences, values, and philosophies collide in exasperating, funny, and heartbreaking ways.

As Nate adjusts to his new environment, he confronts his grandfather Saul’s early signs of dementia and his grandmother Miriam’s denial of the situation.

Amid these challenges, Nate forms an unexpected romantic connection with his grandparents’ doctor.
