About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
The reinvigorated elderly group that left Earth comes back to visit their relatives. Will they all decide to go back to the planet where no one grows old, or will they be tempted to remain on Earth?
Returning travelers must decide if the charm of aging on Earth outweighs the eternal youth offered by a distant planet. This lighthearted sequel trades the first film's mystery for a cozy, sentimental tug-of-war between immortality and the beauty of a natural life.
