剧情介绍
雷克（皮耶-加百列·拉卓 Pier-Gabriel Lajoie 饰）是一个外表帅气个性活泼开朗的小伙子，奇怪的是，他偏偏不喜欢如花似玉的年轻姑娘，反而对垂垂老矣的老人情有独钟。老去，在雷克的眼中并非一件恐怖而又丑陋的事情，正相反，他觉得老人们脸上的沟壑散发着致命的魅力。 雷克的妈妈是一名护士，在养老院工作，借着这个机会，雷克也来到了养老院做义工，这里对于雷克来说宛如天堂一般。某日，雷克震惊的发现，表面上风平浪静的养老院，竟然为了控制老人而对他们进行了药物注射，与此同时，一位名叫皮博迪（沃尔特·博登 Walter Borden 饰）的老人也出现在了雷克的视野里。Lake is an unusual boy: he is a young man with an old soul who discovers he has an odd fixation on the elderly. Realizing that some day, if fate allows, he will be one himself, he is particularly fascinated by old men. He imagines their age to be a beautiful thing and recognizes how these men were once young and vibrant and attractive, as he is now. Although Lake has a girlfriend his own age, named Desiree, he wonders sometimes if his fixation on old men is unnatural and unhealthy - perhaps even sexual. When his mother, who is a nurse, takes on a management job at an old folks home, Lake jumps at her offer of a summer job as an orderly there. Gradually, Lake comes to discover that the old people in the institution are being given psychotropic drugs to keep them in a catatonic state. Lake befriends one old man in particular, Mr. Peabody, who still seems to have some fight left in him. They begin to form a strong bond. Mr. Peabody charms Lake with romantic stories of his youth and confesses his dream of seeing the ocean one last time. Avoiding the vigilant eye of Nurse Baptiste, who administers shots and pills to the old folks, Lake starts to wean Mr. Peabody off his medication. Eventually, Lake springs Mr. Peabody from the institution. Together they embark on a road trip telling everyone they meet that the old man is his grandfather and that they're driving to the Pacific ocean. After numerous life-changing escapades, Lake is finally ready to accept his true feelings for Mr. Peabody, but everything changes when the trip takes a sudden turn.
