“While We're Young” quotes
(2014)Plot – Aging well is never easy and for an artist it can be deleterious. Forty-year-old Josh Srebnick is a documentary filmmaker in New York who believes he had not yet gotten enough from his career. The man is facing a creative crisis which makes it difficult to complete the laborious editing of his latest documentary, and he also feels that something is missing in his relationship with his wife Cornelia. Meeting Jamie and Darby, two free and independent spirits who are spontaneous and ready to do anything to achieve their aspirations, will give Josh an opportunity to find a renewed youth. Along with Cornelia, in fact, he stops hanging out with his friends who are his age to follow the two young and uninhibited hipsters.
