The Curious Case of Benjamin Button tells the story of titular Benjamin (Brad Pitt), who ages backwards, from an elderly man to a child. As he grows up, he grows physically younger which lends Benjamin a unique take on the world around him.
Twelve years after his birth, he meets Daisy, a child who flickers in and out of his life as she grows up to be a dancer (Cate Blanchett). Though the course of his life is marked by unusual adventures, it is Benjamin’s relationship with Daisy, and the hope that they will come together at the right time, that drives him forward.
