Craig and Irene Morrison are an octogenarian couple living quietly on their small coastal farm in rural New Brunswick. But Irene is starting to suffer from dementia, and Craig realises that their current house is too big and cold, and steep-staired, for their approaching needs. Being a self-reliant man with considerable skills he sets about building a more suitable home on his own land with his own materials. This triggers a conflict with local bureaucracy and planning regulations, and pressure from their adult children to consider other options (which Craig interprets as ‘Old People’s Home’). Essentially a sensitive and gentle geriatric love story, it is based on real events.
