A Song for Martin Movie Review 2001

Love found and lost but not in the usual way. Martin (Wolter) is a famous conductor/composer and Barbara (Seldahl) is his first violinist. Both are past middle-age and married but that doesn't stop them from falling deliriously in love, divorcing their spouses, and marrying each other. But Martin's memory soon begins to give him trouble and he is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, which causes him to push Barbara away. Swedish with subtitles.
