Nearing fifty and recently out of a toxic relationship, Gem assumes romance is a thing of his past, something for guys in their twenties. Then he meets Gregg, who makes him think twice about this assumption.

Gregg takes him on a nostalgic date through their shared cinematic past, visiting a museum that recreates sets from classic eighties coming of age films. As they tour the exhibits, which feels like traveling through time, they share laughter, swap stories, and it feels like two pieces of a puzzle snapping together.

By the end of the date, Gregg can't help asking himself: Is it ever too late to find yourself in the center of an epic love story?
