Away from Her -- Film Description:
"Grant (Gordon Pinsent) and Fiona (Julie Christie) have been married for decades. [...] Now retired, they live comfortably in a house in the country, but their contentment is permanently disrupted when Fiona's memory starts to deteriorate. Determined not to saddle Grant with her declining health, she insists on going into a rest home—which only tears Grant apart."
