The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is the story of Benjamin, born an old man, abandoned by his father after his mother dies in childbirth. Benjamin is raised by Queenie, who works at a care home, where he meets Daisy’s grandmother. Although separated, Daisy and Benjamin remain in contact, re-connecting in their forties when in age they finally match up. His diary describes the time past this reconnection as Daisy gets older and Benjamin grows younger into his childhood years.
