A love story between an old playboy and a young(er) woman - perhaps a story that can be summarized in two to three sentences.
But the actors bring the viewing experience to the next level. Intensity of Ben and hot but calm Penelope are well dissolved together to portray a simple story. This was not about the plot anyway, it was more of how the characters react as events progress.
A love and an obsession by an old man on a young woman... Men become kids when they fall in love despite how old they are. Women, can't stand it even if they know it.
Men can't break their shells, and women, therefore, leave.
And years later, when things normalize, things left are love and memory.
No more lust, no more obsession... Maybe a little.
