Adaline Bowman is not like other girls. Starring the iridescent Blake Lively, The Age of Adaline tells the remarkable story of one woman's rather unusual life in which she stops ageing after her 29th birthday. With eight decades of being 29 years old under her belt, Adaline has ensured that the way she lives her life is foolproof and no one will ever suspect her immortal existence. However, when the heartthrob Ellis Jones (Michiel Huisman) walks into her life on New Year's Eve, her plan goes out the window, as does her heart. A weekend getaway to his parents' cottage proves detrimental to their relationship after Adaline's long-suppressed secret is revealed, and involves someone else close to Ellis's heart.
