Late Bloomers
“You’re never too old to come of age.”
Louise, an aimless, 28 year-old Brooklynite, recently single, sort of a musician, depressed without admitting to it, drunkenly falls while doing something stupid and breaks her hip. This lands her in a physical therapy ward full of people twice her age. There, she meets Antonina - a cranky elderly Polish woman, who speaks no English. Louise gets a job caring for her. Neither woman loves the arrangement but it’s time to face the truth about aging. We all have to grow up sometime.
This film offers a bittersweet journey of awkward self-discovery and unexpected intergenerational bonds. It's a poignant, dryly humorous look at finding your footing, even when you feel lost, wrapped in a reflective, character-driven embrace.
