Helle has been waiting forever for workaholic husband Peter to retire, allowing them to enjoy the autumn of their years by traveling and exploring the world together. But when Peter comes home from what’s supposed to be his last day at work, life takes a surprisingly new turn: He’s decided to pursue a new career as a wine importer and has invested all their savings in an exclusive vineyard in Austria. Understandably outraged, Helle splits with Peter, and they each set out on separate journeys of discovery, filled with new opportunities, problems, and dreams. But can Helle and Peter truly start over and live without each other after 50 years of marriage?
