WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

At the turn of the 20th century, a 29-year-old woman named Adaline Bowman (Lively) is rendered ageless after a car accident, and lives a solitary existence for the next eight decades without getting too close to anyone who could reveal her secret. However, when she meets charismatic philanthropist Ellis Jones (Huisman), her passion for life and romance is reignited – but a fateful meeting causes Adaline to make a life-changing decision…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The Age of Adaline is the epic story of a woman’s strange existence and her magical but all too tragic circumstances regarding her prolonged life on Earth.
