Imogene turned 100 years old when filming began, Georgie 96. When filming was completed 4 years later, they shared over 200 years of life experience between them: experiences of poverty and wealth, of marriage and divorce. Of raising children and grandchildren, of confronting a cheating spouse and finding new love. Of joining book clubs and becoming a stand-up comic. Of holding a great-great-grandson and losing a husband after 50 years of marriage. Of hearing the telephone ring and wondering, who could it be? Of all the quiet moments in between.
Filmed over the course of 4 years, Beauty and Chance connects Imogene and Georgie through intimate vérité documentary footage, weaving public and private moments into a single, vulnerable meditation on the hidden struggles and quiet graces of two women writing the final chapters of their lives.
