The hurricane is hitting New Orleans, USA, and a critically ill old woman opened her sleepy eyes. The old woman's name is Daisy (Cate Blanchett), and she asks her daughter Caroline (Julia Ormond) to read a diary for her. The author of this diary is Benjamin Button (played by Brad Pitt). Benjamin was born when the First World War ceased, but he was born like an old man by his father as a monster and was abandoned in a nursing home. Benjamin lives with the elderly in a nursing home. But no one thought that Benjamin developed reversely-the younger he lived, the younger! Perhaps "live and younger" is the dream of some people, but Benjamin, who has really grown up like this, has troubles and happiness that others can't understand. Through half a century of world change, Benjamin is in it, feeling feelings that others can't. Why did my mother let herself read this diary? What is the relationship between Benjamin Button and his mother? Carolyn fell into deep doubt and curiosity.
