Plot

Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) is born as an old man. Queenie (Taraji P. Henson) takes him in as her own. He ages in reverse. In Queenie’s nursing home, one of the residents has a grandchild called Daisy (Cate Blanchett), whom he meets and befriends. They fall in love eventually. However, at one point he also carries on an affair with Elizabeth Abbott (Tilda Swinton), who is married. He tends to act passively while Daisy is more aggressive. Benjamin’s unusual life is shown as he becomes a sailor and also a lover of motorcycles. Benjamin’s life is recorded in a diary, which Daisy’s daughter Caroline (Julia Ormond) reads to her when Daisy is near the end of her life.
