The elderly Daisy (Cate Blanchett) is on her deathbed in a New Orleans hospital, just as Hurricane Katrina approaches the Gulf South on August 29, 2005. She is accompanied by her daughter, Caroline (Julia Ormond) and a nurse at the hospital. The television news broadcasts that a hurricane is approaching the region. As the storm outside intensifies, Daisy asks her daughter to read aloud from a diary containing photographs and postcards written by Benjamin Button. Caroline begins to read, and the story is then told from the point of view of Benjamin in his own voice. The preface of the movie tells the story of a blind clockmaker whose son was killed in battle in World War I. Wishing to reverse time, the clockmaker constructs the clock so that its hands travel backward. The memorial clock is installed in a train station in New Orleans. In 1918, just as the people of New Orleans are celebrating the end of World War I, a baby is born with the appearance and physical limitations of a man who is 85 years old. The mother of the baby dies shortly after giving birth, and his father, Thomas Button, takes the baby and abandons him on the porch of a nursing home close to the docks, leaving $18 in his blanket. This is where Queenie (Taraji P. Henson) and Tizzy (Mahershalalhashbaz Ali) find the baby, as they are departing the nursing home. Queenie, who is unable to conceive, decides to take the baby in as her own, against Tizzy's wishes. Queenie brings the baby into the old age home and gives the baby the name of "Benjamin" (Brad Pitt). Over the course of the story, Benjamin begins to physically grow younger. While appearing to be an old man, he meets a young girl, Daisy, whose grandmother lives in the home. Daisy visits the nursing home often. She points out how different Benjamin is, despite the appearance of his old age. Daisy's grandmother reads bedtime stories out of a picture storybook for both Benjamin and Daisy. Benjamin and Daisy also play as children, but this is frowned upon by Daisy's grandmother due to the appearance of age differences. As time progresses, Benjamin starts to work on a tug boat on the docks of New Orleans for a Captain Mike (played by Jared Harris). It is at this point that Benjamin learns to drink alcohol, visit bars and a brothel with Captain Mike. He also meets Thomas Button, not knowing that this is his father. Later, Benjamin departs New Orleans with the tugboat crew for a long-term work engagement. Before he leaves, Daisy makes him promise to write to her from "everywhere". In Russia, Benjamin meets a British woman by the name of Elizabeth Abbott (Tilda Swinton) in the hotel where they are both staying and falls in love with her. Since Elizabeth is already married, with her husband working as a spy for the British government, they carry on their affair at night in the hotel. One day, Elizabeth leaves unexpectedly and leaves a note behind: "It was nice to have met you." Benjamin soon gets caught up in World War II, as Captain Mike's boat and crew are commandeered by the US Navy. During a battle, the tugboat sinks a German U-boat in the Atlantic Ocean. Most sailors on board the tugboat, including Captain Mike, die of gunshot wounds. Benjamin, seeing others mourn painfully for the men on the tugboat, now sees death in a different way, as opposed to the retirement home where death seemed more natural. After the war, Benjamin returns to New Orleans, and again meets Thomas Button, who reveals to Benjamin that he is his real father. Thomas Button, who is dying, bequeaths all of his assets to Benjamin, including the house and the button factory that the family ran and owned. Benjamin Button is the last kin in the family. Queenie appears unimpressed by the sudden appearance of Benjamin's real father, referring to the $18 that he left with Benjamin on the nursing home's porch. Back in the nursing home, Benjamin meets Daisy again, and learns that she has a successful dancing career in New York City. Daisy attempts to seduce Benjamin, but Benjamin refuses. Benjamin later travels to New York to meet Daisy unannounced at a performance. Daisy has fallen in love with a fellow dancer, and Benjamin states that he was there to "sweep" her away. Later, Daisy falls victim to a car accident during a dance tour in Paris, causing her to lose her ability to dance. Benjamin receives notice of this by telegram from one of her friends, and immediately travels to Paris to find her. Daisy's first comment upon seeing Benjamin is "you're perfect," � referring to his youthful appearance, but then she turns Benjamin away, telling him to get out of her life. Later, after Daisy regains the ability to walk, she returns to New Orleans, and the two eventually fall deeply in love as their ages become similar to each other. Benjamin sells the house he had inherited from Thomas Button and moves into a new apartment with Daisy. Daisy starts a dance studio for young girls called "Esplanade", presumably for the street address on Esplanade Avenue, New Orleans. Daisy also gets physical therapy treatments from a physiotherapist who lives in the same building with them. The story continues with Daisy and Benjamin struggling to deal with the issue of one growing younger while the other grows older. In a local swimming pool four blocks away from their home, Daisy confesses her desire to become younger. A couple of years pass and Daisy gives birth to a girl, Caroline. Benjamin, realizing he can no longer stay with Daisy due to his youthful appearance and his inability to be a "real father," decides when Caroline is a year old to leave Daisy behind with his possessions and assets. Benjamin becomes younger, travels the world, spends time in various third-world countries, and returns once again many years later to meet Daisy in her dance studio. At this point, Daisy has grown older, married a widower, and has brought up their daughter Caroline, who is now 12 years old and unaware of Benjamin's past relationship with her mother. Daisy introduces Benjamin to her husband and daughter as a long-time family friend. Benjamin is now just 24 years old and Daisy is 56. Daisy and Benjamin then meet privately in Benjamin's hotel where they share their passion for each other, while realizing that Daisy has become too old for Benjamin. Benjamin departs and continues to grow younger until he develops Alzheimer's at the age of 12 and becomes a young child who has no memory of the past. Daisy, who is now significantly older, spends time with Benjamin and takes care of him as he becomes a younger, more confused 10 year old boy with a growing youthful temper. At one point Daisy cuddles with the childlike Benjamin when he is 4 and reads out of the same storybook that her grandmother read to both Daisy and Benjamin when they were young. Benjamin eventually becomes an infant, and he dies in Daisy's arms. At the moment before Benjamin dies, Daisy claims to have seen through his eyes that he still remembers her, despite the fact that Benjamin has no other way to communicate with her. The movie ends back in the 2005 hospital room shortly before the power of the hospital was cut due to Hurricane Katrina. Daisy's daughter, Caroline, who learns that her real father was Benjamin Button, becomes upset at the fact that Daisy took such a long time to inform her about her father. But, She in turn finds that in the diary she reads about her father, He has left her a postcard from everywhere for each of her birthdays telling her how he feels about his wonderful daughter. This makes her feel special and she cries as she reads the cards. When the power goes out, Caroline leaves the room while Daisy passes away with air sirens sounding in the background. The TV announces that the levee has broken. The reversed clock, which has since been taken off the tower and placed in storage, continues to tick backwards as the floodwaters enter the room in which it is stored. </pre>
