After overseeing major projects as a construction manager for many years and having traveled all over the world, Peter is taking early retirement. First of all, he has big plans for the new phase of his life: he can finally make up for a missed togetherness with his wife Charlotte, a successful scientist who will soon follow him into retirement, and write his long-awaited novel. The reality, however, soon turns out to be far less romantic: Charlotte has little time for her husband because of her job, and Peter can't even get past the first sentence in his novel.

best movie i've ever seen.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
