Young, rich, and obsessed with death, Harold finds himself changed forever when he meets Maude at a funeral. A lively woman sixty years his senior who encourages the morbid teenager to look on the bright side and live life to the full, Maude is a million miles away from the women Harold’s mother tries to set him up with. But the substantial age difference between the pair raises eyebrows when their relationship takes a romantic turn, and Maude’s impending 80th birthday may separate the pair forever.
