TWO STRANGERS TRYING NOT TO KILL EACH OTHER

Doc. | English, Italian, French | 100 min

“A thoughtful, revealing and sometimes profoundly uncomfortable viewing experience” Screen International

When artist Maggie Barrett (75) breaks her femur, her husband Joel Meyerowitz (84), a world-famous photographer, becomes her caregiver. In the shadow of mortality, each with a long and dramatic life behind them, the hard truths of life together provoke in Maggie and Joel an attempt to find a shared inner-peace while there is still time.

From the producers of The Act of Killing, Flee, The End and Nickel Boys.
