Storyline:  Renowned British writer and philosopher Iris Murdoch lives a passionate and intellectually rich life, marked by her intense bond with fellow academic John Bayley. From their early days at Oxford to their final years together, the film traces their relationship through Bayley’s memories, showing Iris as a vibrant, independent thinker and fearless woman. As Alzheimer’s disease slowly erodes Iris’s brilliant mind, Bayley remains lovingly by her side, struggling with the pain of watching the woman he adores fade away. Iris is a poignant meditation on love, memory, and the fragility of identity.
