ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Our Souls at Night” by Kent Haruf tells the story of Addie Moore and Louis Waters, two elderly neighbors who, after experiencing years of loneliness, form an unlikely companionship. Seeking comfort and connection, they spend their nights together, sharing stories and confronting past regrets. Set in a small town, the novel explores themes of loneliness, the search for intimacy in later life, and the societal expectations placed on the elderly. As they navigate their growing bond, they face judgment from their community, their families, and their own inner conflicts, questioning the boundaries of love, happiness, and fulfillment in old age.
