A ninety-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s and a heartbroken young man share a ride to Brussels that ends up changing their lives forever.
When Alex pulls up to meet “Max”, he expects everything but a ninety-year-old lady who has her heart set on getting to Brussels by carpool.

When it becomes clear that Maxine is suffering from Alzheimer’s and wants to take matters into her own hands while she still can, and that Alex battles severe depression, a wonderful friendship starts to form between the unlikely pair. Before long, their travel plans take an unexpected turn…
