Film adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald story of the same name tells the tale of a man doomed to live his life aging in reverse.

ABSTRACT
Daisy Williams, an old woman with a full life well behind her on her deathbed the day Hurricane Katrina devastates New Orleans, asks daughter Caroline to relate the story of lifelong friend Benjamin Button to her. We are treated, as the film's title suggests, to the curious story of an individual named Benjamin Button, a man born with the appearance and physical issues of an old man in 1918 who ages backwards, effectively living his life in reverse, up until his death as an infant in the spring of 2003.
