Jaap and Maartje have been together for almost five decades. Irascible old Jaap is not very interested in doing much, but Maartje is still keen to embrace everything life has to offer. When the couple receives a letter from an old friend inviting them to southern Europe, Maartje manages to convince her reluctant husband to make the trek. After many years spent at home, the pair get into their old car to go on a journey through a completely changed Europe, bickering all the way but also stirring up old loving memories. During this journey, Jaap slowly recognizes that his beloved Maartje is showing increasing signs of dementia. Realizing that everything is about to change, they rediscover just what it is they love about each other. A beautiful, tender, and very funny love story, Memory Lane was the Dutch submission to the Academy Award for International Feature last year.
