In the 1970s, Helen meets Pete: the first Republican official to oppose the Vietnam war, and notably, a man 26 years older. Now at 70, still madly in love, Helen reckons with the reality that the next quarter of her life will be without Pete, whose health is declining. Director Alix Blair locks us in to witness an everlasting love, while also recognizing the sacrifices and pains that come with their marriage. Helen is an open book, sharing the rollercoaster of her life through years of journal entries revisited. What initially seems like a story about an unlikely couple whose love stands the test of time, becomes about the tests themselves and why facing them head on matters. - Dani Leal
