Event Description

A morbid young man, Harold (Bud Court), develops an unexpected friendship with Maude (Ruth Gordon), a spirited 79-year-old woman who teaches him to embrace life’s possibilities. Despite their differences in age and outlook, the pair form a deep connection that challenges social conventions and explores themes of love, mortality, freedom and finding joy in everyday life.
