Supernova Movie Storyline. Sam and Tusker, partners for 20 years, travel across England to the Lake District, reuniting with friends and family. As Tusker is diagnosed with early onset dementia, the pair are heading towards the end of their relationship.
The pair pull over at a supermarket, where Sam purchases some food, and when he returns, Tusker has vanished. Sam drives around the roads nearby and finds him. Tusker is in the middle of writing a book, and declines Sam’s request to read it. Sam is preparing for his final piano concert.
The pair travel to Sam’s sister Lily’s house, where the rest of their family and friends meet them for a dinner. Upon talking to his friend Tim, Sam discovers that Tusker has been unable to write anything. Sam heads into the camper van to see what he has written, and sees his writing decline over time. He also discovers one of his tapes and listens to it.
The pair leave the house and head to a cottage in the countryside. Sam confronts Tusker about the tape, which reveals that Tusker wants to commit suicide before his dementia becomes too severe. Sam disagrees with him, and the pair argue.
The pair make up, and have an intimate night together. The next morning, Sam announces to Tusker that he accepts his decision and wants to be with him when he dies. Sam plays at his concert during the final scene.
