Inspired by French philosopher André Gorz's autobiographical novel, the wordless show portrays an old couple who deals with the wife's Alzheimer's by reminiscing about their past and finally regains their love for another.

The romantic pantomime has toured in nearly 30 countries across the world including the United States, Britain and Russia. It made its Chinese mainland debut in 2011 and has since been staged more than 100 times.
