In this moving comedy, Oscar®-winning actresses Olympia Dukakis and Brenda Fricker play Stella and Dot, an aging couple together for 31 years. Now in their 70s, Stella is hard of hearing and Dot is legally blind. Dot’s prudish granddaughter decides the best place for Dot is a nursing home. In a last-gasp bid to stay together, Stella liberates Dot from the facility. They escape in a battered pickup truck and drive to Nova Scotia on a quest to be legally married.
