Plot - A beautiful story of a man who is unusually born, he was born old and ages backwards from old to young.
Benjamin’s journal relates his whole unprecedented life, the essential irregular part of which was his aging backwards, being determined to have a few maturing maladies during childbirth and consequently given minimal possibility of survival, yet who does survive and gets more youthful with time. Relinquished by his natural father, Thomas Button, after Benjamin’s biological mother passed on in labor, Benjamin was raised by Queenie, a dark lady and parental figure at a seniors home. Daisy’s grandma was an inhabitant at that home, which is the place she initially met Benjamin. Although separated through the years, Daisy and Benjamin stay in contact for the duration of their lives, reconnecting in their forties when in age they at last match up. This amazing romantic film takes the character’s uncommon life into the 21st century as he encounters happiness and pity, loves lost and found, and the significance of timelessness.
