Set in 1950s London, the film follows Williams, a veteran civil servant buried under office paperwork as the city rebuilds after World War II. Receiving a devastating medical diagnosis, he empties his savings account and heads to the coast. He promises to make his last days a meaningful time, but realizes he doesn't know how to do it. After being whisked into town by a mysterious stranger, Williams is intrigued by a young co-worker who seems to possess the vitality he had lost. With the help of his optimistic colleague, Williams puts all his efforts into surprisingly making those around him happy.

In 1920, the two spend a winter walking through the forests and islands of Maine, collecting folk songs in order to preserve them for future generations.
