Amour (2012)
Synopsis
Georges and Anne are a couple of retired music
teachers enjoying life in their eighties. However, Anne suddenly has a
stroke at breakfast and their lives are never the same. That incident
begins Anne's harrowingly steep physical and mental decline as Georges
attempts to care for her at home as she wishes. Even as the fruits of
their lives and career remain bright, the couple's hopes for some
dignity prove a dispiriting struggle even as their daughter enters the
conflict. In the end, George, with his love fighting against his own
weariness and diminished future on top of Anne's, is driven to make some
critical decisions for them both.
