The story

What Is Coming of Age About?

The premise of Coming of Age without spoilers.

When eighty‑year‑old Rosa, battling terminal cancer, meets Bruno, whose long‑standing marriage has become a routine, they fall instantly in love. Defying doctors, carers and family, they leave their respective lives—Rosa from a retirement home, Bruno from his relationship—and move into a modest flat together. The film humorously exposes society’s uneasy reaction to senior romance and the longing for freedom in later years.
