The Intern

Senior citizen Ben, a 70-year-old widower, feels a desire to be productive and active. He decides to shoot a video resume to apply for an intern position, responding to a flyer for senior citizens to upload their video applications.

After submitting his video, Ben receives a call inviting him to an interview at 'About The Fit', a growing online retail business founded by Jules Ostin. Excited about the opportunity, he prepares to make a positive impression.

Jules Ostin, the founder of 'About The Fit', deals with various business responsibilities and customer complaints. One notable instance involves her managing a distressed bride's call about mismatched bridesmaids' dresses, showcasing her dedication to her clients.

During his interview, Ben shares his past experience working for a company that produced phone books. Although the interviewer finds it hard to fathom Ben's aspirations for the next decade, he acknowledges Ben's impressive qualifications.

Ben starts his role as an intern, discovering a friendly work environment where he is welcomed by fellow interns, including other senior citizens and younger colleagues. His simple desk setup stands in stark contrast to his tech-savvy coworkers.

Ben receives an email from Jules's assistant, Becky, marking his first official meeting at 3:55 PM. Despite being warned that his tasks may be limited, Ben is ready to contribute positively to the team.

As days go by without contact from Jules, Ben decides not to lose hope. Instead, he immerses himself in the workplace, learning the ropes and helping out his younger colleagues, earning the affectionate nickname 'Mr. Congeniality.'

Ben’s first official task from Becky is to clean a jacket that Jules stained with soy sauce. Through interactions with his coworkers, he overhears concerns regarding the rapid growth of 'About The Fit', prompting discussions about leadership.

As Ben integrates more into the office culture, he earns recognition for reorganizing Jules's cluttered desk. This achievement highlights his contributions to enhancing the work environment, making him a valued member of the team.

Ben takes on driving Jules after her usual driver is unavailable. During these rides, they share personal stories and dilemmas, deepening their connection as they navigate both work and life struggles together.

The film reveals details about Jules's home life, including her husband, Matt, and their daughter, Paige. As the storyline progresses, cracks begin to show in Jules's seemingly perfect marriage.

Jules leans on Ben for support during challenging times at work and personal life. Their relationship strengthens as they share life lessons, with Ben providing meaningful insights for Jules to navigate her predicaments.

Jules confronts Matt about his suspected infidelity, leading to an emotional awakening for her. This confrontation forces her to evaluate her life choices and prioritize her own happiness moving forward.

Throughout her journey, Jules learns the importance of self-fulfillment over societal expectations. With Ben's encouragement, she finds the strength to pursue new paths both professionally and personally.

By the end of the film, Ben and Jules establish a sincere friendship built on mutual respect and growth. Both characters embark on fresh journeys, finding peace and confidence in their individual choices.
