Late Bloomers begins when Mary (Isabella Rosselini) and Adam (William Hurt), a high functioning couple, realise that they have entered the senior category. Adam's reaction to this 'discovery' is as frantic as his denial and he desparately looks for a fountain of youth. Mary, on the other hand decides to deal with the situation by doing what she does best: taking care of everyone. With humour and a great eye for complex emotions, writer/director Julie Gavras shws that while the experience of aging is real, the pressure to act any 'certain age' is one of the biggest obstacles to a good life after 60.
