Benjamin Button was born on the day of the end of the First World War, is a baby in swaddling clothes but has the health of a ninety year old: arthritis, cataract, deafness. He should die the next day and instead the more time passes the more he rejuvenates. His is a life on the contrary that crosses the American twentieth century always in search of the first and only love, a woman much more emancipated, free and in line with her time than him. The only time they will be able to find themselves is when their ages cross.
It also was later adapted into the 2008 namesake film and in 2019 into a stage musical.
