Ein fast perfekter Antrag

Summary

Meticulous widower Walter, who spends his spare time writing overly detailed online restaurant reviews, unexpectedly runs into Alice during one of his culinary test dinners. She is the great love of his youth—the woman he once proposed to, unsuccessfully, decades ago. Now a professor of art, Alice is still everything Walter is not: spontaneous, creative, and fiercely independent. Determined to prove that he has changed—and that he deserves another chance—Walter impulsively enrolls as a guest student in her art class. Surrounded by paint tubes, installations, and a crowd of much younger students, he is forced to loosen his grip on control and experiment with unfamiliar ways of seeing the world. As Walter clumsily but earnestly navigates the contemporary art scene, Alice, too, begins to realize that their connection may run deeper than either of them wants to admit. What unfolds is a light, unexpected new chapter for them both—and the question of whether an old love can gain not just a patina of time, but a fresh new shine.
