WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

70-year-old widower Ben Whittaker (De Niro) discovers that retirement is nowhere near as relaxing or even as exciting as he had imagined, and in an opportunity to get himself back into the game he applies for a senior internship for an online fashion website, which is run by its founder Jules Ostin (Hathaway).
