When a weekend with Ellis’ parents threatens to uncover her secret, Adaline is forced to make a decision that will change her life forever.

After a horrible car crash on a snowy night, Adaline stops aging. No this is not a vampire romance flick, sorry Twilight fans.

She brushes him off but to moviegoers its easy to see he will be showing his face again.

Why doesn’t she want to know what it is to love? Even though you want to cry, you cannot because you will miss all of the little details. The Age of Adaline is a dramatic romance that will leave moviegoers feeling like all questions were answered.
