In the southern United States, New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina raged. In a hospital, dying Daisygave a memoir to her daughter Caroline. The owner of the memoir is a man named Benjamin Button. In 1918, the First World War came to an end. On the day of Europe's victory, a baby boy fell to the ground in a Barton house in New Orleans. As soon as the young Barton was born, he seemed to be different: his mother died of a dystocia, the doctor who delivered the baby was so frightened, and the father was more cruel to abandon the newborn baby at the door of the nursing home. When the black aunt of the nursing home found him, she It was also terribly scared--the young baby in front of him was born a rare old man with white hair and wrinkles. However, the kind-hearted aunt did not dislike this abandoned baby. She took Benjamin in and took good care of it. In a remote nursing home, Benjamin, who looks like an 80-year-old man, is not obtrusive. So, year after year, he grew up happily. Strangely speaking, Benjamin's biological clock seems to go backwards, and the older and older others are, the younger and younger he lives. Until one day, this twelve-year-old man met Daisya six-year-old girl who came to visit his grandmother . When Benjamin met the second woman who completely changed his life in the nursing home, her cuteness and innocence completely conquered the heart of "old man" Button. But Patton's equally sincere and clear heart moved little Daisy, and the love between the two began to sprout.
More than a decade later, the flames of World War II burned the entire world even more fiercely. In the turbulent situation, Benjamin Button, like many Americans, came to Britain by boat from the United States to contribute to the anti-fascist war. During this period, he met various characters, witnessed the true tragedy of life, and experienced the greatest glory of human nature. During this, he met Elizabeth Abbott, had a short-term relationship, but the other party was married and left soon. After the Second World War, Benjamin returned to the United States. At this time, he has already got rid of his childhood old appearance, and has gradually grown into a middle-aged person. And, destined to reunite with her childhood dream lover Daisy in New York. At this time, Daisy has also emerged as a beautiful dancer with a good demeanor and a successful career. But at this time Daisy already had another lover, and Benjamin had to leave sadly. The two met again because of Daisy's injury. She could no longer dance. Daisy didn't want Benjamin to see herself on the hospital bed and let him leave. A few years later, they met again in the nursing home. After a mature relationship, the two finally spent a happy and beautiful few years together under the condition that their age and appearance were all matched. Just when everyone was suffering from the aging brought to them by the years, Benjamin Button went retrograde like a rejuvenation. They had a daughter, but Benjamin was destined to be younger and eventually became a child. He felt that he could not accompany the child to grow up and chose to leave. A few years later, Benjamin returned from India and found that Daisy was married to a widower. Seeing that they were getting along well, Benjamin was relieved and a little sad. He is getting older and younger, but his body is getting smaller and smaller, suffering from "childhood dementia." The orphanage worker found Daisy through his diary. By this time Benjamin had forgotten everything, and became more and more like a child. Daisy visited him every day and accompanied him through the last days of her life.
