Movie Plot:

Set in a modern day nursing home, an elderly man named Noah, but called "Duke" (James Garner), begins to read a love story from his notebook to an elderly woman named Allie. Allie suffered from Alzheimer's, she is Noah's wife. Before her Dementia intensified, Allie wrote the love story of her and Noah down in a notebook. She gave it to him with instructions to read it to her on days she couldn't remember, promising that her memory would come back as Noah read her their love story. The year is 1940. Noah and Allie are at a carnival. Noah (Ryan Gosling), a country boy who is with his friend Fin (Kevin Connolly), first sees Allie (Rachel McAdams), a seventeen-year-old girl from a wealthy family, who is with her friend Sara (Heather Wahlquist). Noah is immediately smitten with Allie and he continuously asks her out on dates, only to be playfully rejected by her. Noah hangs off the Ferris Wheel and tells Allie that he will let go if she didn’t accept. Soon, they wind up spending the evening with each other while going to a late night show with Fin and Sara. On a midnight walk through an empty SeaBrook, Noah learns of how tightly scheduled Allie's life was with her daily schedules and activities. Yet he sees a deeper side in her, a side yearning to be free and he likes that. The first featuring of "I'll Be Seeing You" is played as they dance in the street. Noah and Allie spend an idyllic summer together. Allie lives with her parents, John and Anne Hamilton (David Thornton and Joan Allen), who are staying in Seabrook for only the summer. Allie's father, a Southern Millionaire, appears to be okay with Allie and Noah's relationship, chuckling as Allie returns late home one night, merely laughing "Oh Boy!" as the two regretfully part for the night outside Allie's house. Noah lives only with his father, Frank Calhoun (Sam Shepard). Frank is welcoming to Allie and invites her to the house on regular occasions for dances and pancakes. Allie's mother is not so approving. One night, a week before Allie is to leave, Allie and Noah go up to an abandoned house called "The Windsor Plantation" where Allie and Noah passionately prepare to make love for the first time. A nervous Allie keeps interrupting Noah as he kisses her and when the moment seems finally right, they are interrupted by Fin who tells them Allie's parents have every cop out looking for her. Upon return to the house, Allie's parents ban her from seeing Noah and Allie fights with Noah outside and the two decide to break up. Allie immediately regrets the decision but Noah drives away. The next morning, Allie's mother reveals that they're going home that morning instead of next week. Allie frantically tries to find Noah, but is forced to leave without saying good-bye. The Hamiltons' then sent Allie to New York, where she starts attending school at Sarah Lawrence. Noah, devastated to be separated from Allie, begins to write one letter a day for a year, only to get no reply because Allie's mother kept the letters from her. They have no choice than to move on with their lives, and Allie continues to attend school, while Noah and Fin enlist for the war (it is later seen that Fin dies in the war). For a short time, Allie becomes a nurse for the wounded soldiers. There, she meets Lon Hammond Jr. (James Marsden). Allie spends time with him and the two eventually become engaged, to the joy of Allie's parents as Lon is wealthy. When Noah comes back from fighting in the war, he finds out that his Dad has sold their house and bought Noah's dream house. Before long, Noah's father passes away. When traveling to the city to get a building permit, Noah sees Allie embracing Lon, and decides to rebuild "The Windsor Plantation" for Allie. He and Allie had visited it in their earlier years and he had promised Allie he would one day rebuild it. Noah works like a madman, believing if he could rebuild the house, Allie would come back to him. Noah engages in a brief affair with a widow named Martha Shaw. While trying on her wedding dress, Allie reads about Noah completing the house in a newspaper and faints. She decides to visit Noah in Seabrook, and the two spend a bit of time together, talking about what has been happening in their lives. Noah invites Allie to see him again the next day, and they both go for a ride in a rowboat. Not long later, Allie confronts Noah and asks him why she had not heard from him for all those years. Noah tells her he had sent her 365 letters and the two discover that Allie's mother had hidden them from her young daughter. All emotion becomes clear as Allie reveals she never got over losing Noah, crying "It wasn't over for me!". Noah releases all his emotion and pent up grief to dramatically retaliate "It wasn't over.. It still isn't over!" Finally, Noah and Allie kiss passionately and make love, knowing they still have feelings for each other. After a two-day affair, Allie discovers that Noah fulfilled her every wish as regards to the house, building an entire room facing the creek for her to paint in, a wish she expressed when they visited the house on the night they intended to sleep together as teenagers. Anne Hamilton comes to see her daughter and learns about what has happened. Anne warns Allie that Lon knows something about her activities in Seabrook and is on his way up to talk to her. While going for a drive with her daughter, Anne explains to Allie how she, before marrying John, had fallen in love with a man who was not in her social class. She takes Allie back to the house, tells her daughter she hopes she makes the right choice, and hands her the 365 letters Noah had written seven years ago. Noah and Allie talk and get into a brief argument, where Noah continuously asks her what she wants in life. Allie then leaves the heartbroken Noah and returns to the inn where she tells Lon what happened with Noah. The film goes back to the elderly couple, and Allie asks Duke who Allie chose. She realizes the answer herself, and the scene, briefly, goes again to years earlier, where Allie goes back to Noah again, and they both embrace in reunion. Allie suddenly remembers her past and she and Noah joyfully spend a brief intimate time together, Allie then suffers a "sundown" (described in a deleted scene when Allie has no recognition of anything or anyone around her) and panics. She has to be sedated by the attending physician. This proves to be difficult for Noah to watch and he breaks down. The next morning, Noah is found unconscious in bed (it is revealed in a deleted scene that he suffered a heart attack after the incident with Allie, the strain proving too much for a man with an already weakened heart) and he is rushed to the hospital, but he is later returned to the nursing home's intensive care ward. He walks in Allie's bedroom that night, and Allie remembers again. They talk, and Allie asks him if he thinks their love could take them away together, to which Noah replies, "I think our love can do anything we want it to." They sleep holding on to each other, and the next morning, the nurse finds they have both died in their sleep.
