At the retirement home Lily lovingly takes care of her Max, who is unable to speak and move after several strokes. But she feels trapped, and when a spirited gentleman called "the Pilot" moves in, he and his passion for life charms Lily... Lily and Max have been married for more than 50 years. Now they live together in a nursing home, where Max has been reliant on professional care since his stroke. Lily has been putting her own needs aside and is desperately longing for excitement and intimacy in her life. When a man known as "the Pilot" moves in next door, Lily is immediately charmed by him and his passion for life. But neither her family nor the other residents at the nursing home are fond of her new acquaintance. Misunderstood by her family and trapped in her life with Max, Lily decides to fight to escape the bars of her invisible prison and claim her freedom. (Cinemax)
