Ever wonder what happens at those Spa Farms for rich folks? In this, a retired orchestra conductor (Michael Caine) is on holiday with his daughter (Rachel Weisz) and his film director best friend (Harvey Keitel). They’re in Switzerland…the Alps…and he receives an invitation from Queen Elizabeth II to perform for Prince Philip’s birthday. He’s not interested. Instead he’s more interested in letting his mind go with philosophical thoughts…equating everything to memory and ‘youth.’
Jane Fonda arrives on the scene is a diva actress for a bit part that has more input then the rest. The film is a paced study of the artist’s mind amidst its trappings…whether young or old. two tiaras
