Jaap and Maartje have been together almost five decades. Irascible old Jaap is not very interested in doing much, but Maartje, despite her occasional confusion, is still keen to embrace everything life has to offer. When the couple receives a letter from an old friend, Maartje manages to convince her reluctant husband to visit him in Southern Europe. After many years, 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.
