Plot
When Dot's granddaughter puts her into a nursing home, Stella stages a breakout, and takes Dot to Canada so they can get married. They pick up a hitchhiker along the way.
Sinekatalog’s take
Two elderly women, long-time partners, flee a nursing home and head for Canada to marry, picking up a young hitchhiker. It is crotchety, funny and surprisingly tender, held together by two sharp lead performances. A road comedy with heart that older-couple romance fans should enjoy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
