Two Strangers Trying Not to Kill Each Other

In this phenomenally intimate and authentic documentary, directors Jacob Perlmutter and Manon Ouimet delve into the lives of Maggie Barrett and Joel Meyerowitz, a couple whose love is as layered as their individual careers. Joel, a world-famous American street photographer, thrives in the spotlight, while talented but lesser-known writer Maggie grapples with her place in his shadow. Their relationship is one of deep affection but also quiet tension.

After a serious accident, Maggie finds herself dependent on Joel’s care, forcing them to confront buried frustrations and longstanding emotional divides. Filmed in their homes in Tuscany and New York, this intimate portrait reveals a relationship full of tender moments, artistic reflection, and the inevitable struggles of ageing. It is a unpolished and beautiful exploration of love’s endurance, even when the past and present collide in unexpected ways.
