At 100-years-old, Dr. Howard Tucker has been recognized by the Guinness World Records as the world's oldest practicing doctor. Following a more than seven-decade career, capped off by a stint teaching neurology to medical residents at Cleveland's St. Vincent Charity Medical Center, Dr. Tucker begins to slow down and grapple with aging for the first time. Told through the eyes of his grandson, the film follows their journey through a changing medical landscape as their relationship deepens and dynamics shift.

Taylor Taglianetti is the Founder and President of the National Organization of Italian Americans in Film & Television. She is also a producer, director, and celebrity interviewer. Her most recent film was the short documentary, Heirloom, which stars Isabella Rossellini. Her best friend Austin is the grandson of Dr. Tucker.
