The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot

Marianne Cronin

*Running Time => 10hrs. and 53mins.*

Life is short - no one knows that better than 17-year-old Lenni Petterssen. On the Terminal ward, the nurses are offering their condolences already, but Lenni still has plenty of living to do.

For a start, she has questions about her fate she needs answers to, and stories yet to uncover.

When she meets 83-year-old Margot, a fellow patient in purple pajamas offering new friendship and enviable artistic skills, Lenni's life begins to soar in ways she'd never imagined.

As their friendship blooms, a world of stories opens up: of wartime love and loss, of misunderstanding and reconciliation, of courage, kindness and joy.

Stories that have led them to the end of their days.

Fiercely alive, disarmingly funny, and brimming with tenderness, 'THE ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF LENNI AND MARGOT' unwraps the extraordinary gift of life even when it is about to be taken away, and revels in our infinite capacity for friendship and love when we need it most.
