The spirited 94-year-old Eleanor tells a story that takes on a life of its own. Eleanor Morgenstein has always been deeply involved with the people around her. After a death that turns her world upside down, she decides to move from Florida to New York. She moves in with her daughter and grandson, hoping to strengthen their family bond, but only feels lonely and invisible there. One day, she accidentally stumbles upon a support group where she shares a story that unintentionally garners her a great deal of attention. While a young journalism student sees her as a friend and mentor, the consequences for Eleanor are unimaginable. When the situation finally threatens to spiral out of control, she can no longer ignore the truth.
Scarlett Johansson's directorial debut touches on themes of old age, family, grief, and betrayal. It is a story of friendship and history that reveals how complicated we as human beings can be.
