Golden Years follows Alice and Peter as they are celebrating their retirement by embarking on a romantic cruise. Alice had hoped this trip would infuse fresh life into their marriage, but instead of enjoying their time together, they find themselves drifting further apart. Disappointed and hurt, Alice doesn't reboard the cruise ship during a shore excursion and instead embarks on a journey of self-discovery, taking her across Southern Europe and bringing her into a community of older people that finds joy outside traditional notions of gender, marriage, and the later years of one's life.
