action

An 84-year-old man enters a nursing home and reads from a book to an old woman with Alzheimer's disease . The old man's story is told in a flashback : young Allie meets Noah, a country boy from a poorer background, during a summer vacation in Seabrook, South Carolina . She is a rich, well-bred city girl herself. Despite these circumstances, they fall in love. Both soon realize that their love is something very special and enjoy carefree and exciting days in the country. Allie's parents, especially her mother, are very suspicious of the relationship. Over time, however, they find, to their annoyance, that it is more than just a little summer love for their daughter. So they decide to leave immediately. Noah writes romantic letters to Allie every day for a year, but these are held back by Allie's mother and so never reach her.

After that year, Noah fought for the United States in World War II . His best friend Finn is killed in action. After the war ended, he returned to Seabrook and built the house he promised Allie back then just as he told her to. He still loves her, cannot and does not want to forget her despite other relationships. He's finishing his dream home. A short time later, Noah's father Frank dies. He now sleeps more often with the war widow Martha Shaw, whom he does not love and who Allie does not make him forget. During this time Allie met the equally wealthy lawyer Lon Hammond from a respected family and later became engaged to him. But despite all the promises and the wealth, she is never really happy. She too often has to think of Noah and their summer together, but tries to suppress her memories.

One day when Allie saw an article from Noah in front of his house in the newspaper that he wanted to sell, she knew that she had to visit him. The inner longing drives her back to Seabrook. Allie explains to her fiancé that she has a few things to sort out and that she needs time to think. He lets her go, but has no good idea. She meets Noah, tries to have a superficial conversation and explains to him that she just wants to finish with her past. But the conversation becomes more, because Allie feels comfortable and free again with him. After several romantic events, she decided at short notice to extend her stay and stayed with Noah instead of her hotel. The two learn to love each other again and in the end Allie chooses her only true love, Noah.

Back in the nursing home, it becomes clear who the 84-year-old man and the Alzheimer's patient are: Allie, who lives in a nursing home , suffers from Alzheimer's and cannot remember either her past or her family. Her husband Noah does not want to give up his wife and tries desperately to regain her memories - but in vain. Every day he reads to her their love story, which they wrote down at Allie's request shortly after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Allie is touched but does not know that they are both Noah and Allie.

While Allie hears this story from Noah, her memories gradually return in the end and she realizes that she is the girl from the book. But the perfect memory remains only fleeting, because the disease comes through again.

It pains Noah a lot when the disease keeps reappearing after a few short, clear moments. It is the same on this evening. Suddenly she looks at him as a stranger, screams in panic, shooing him out of her room and can only be reassured by the nurses who hurry up. Noah had a heart attack that night. After he has recovered, he visits Allie in her room at the home because it is her 50th wedding anniversary. He sits down next to her on the bed and strokes her hair. She wakes up and looks at him for a long time. He bends over her low and kisses her. To his astonishment, she returns the kiss and says his name. She can remember. The long-awaited miracle finally seems to have happened.

Noah lies down next to her and they fall asleep hand in hand. The next morning a sister came into the room and found the two dead.
