Den strokedrabbade regissören Walter blir förälskad i den gamla aktrisen Virginia på ålderdomshemmet Verona. I sin iver att vinna Virginias hjärta sätter Walter upp Romeo och Julia, något som piggar upp gamlingarna.
In a sanatorium for people in their 60's Walter meets Virginia and falls in love. His boyish invites only upset her. In another attempt to capture her interest he directs "Romeo and Juliet" starring the residents of the sanatorium.
