What is the plot of may december?

Here’s the Netflix synopsis may december:

“May December refers to the nature of a scandalous romance between a married woman and a 13-year-old boy that was a tabloid staple when it happened 20 years ago. As in the May-December romance between teacher Mary Kay Letourneau and Vili Fualaau, Moore’s character served time for seducing an underage teenager, but eventually married the young man and they moved to start a family and live quietly. The trigger for the film is the interaction between the couple and an actress (Portman) who travels to Maine to study the life of the woman she will play in a film. Sparks fly between the three when unresolved issues resurface in a romantic drama.

Twenty years after their famous tabloid romance took the nation by storm, Gracie Atherton-Yu and her husband Joe (twenty-three years her junior) prepare for their twin boys to graduate from high school. When Hollywood actress Elizabeth Berry comes to spend time with the family to better understand Gracie, whom she will play in a movie, the family dynamic unravels under the pressure of the outside gaze. Joe, who never processed what happened in his youth, begins to confront the reality of life as an empty nester at thirty-six. And as Elizabeth and Gracie study each other, the similarities and differences between the two women begin to come and go. Set in quaint and comfortable Camden, Maine, May December is an exploration of truth, storytelling, and the difficulties (or impossibility) of fully understanding another person.

in a interview with Hayesthe prolific director said the film “explores one of the great capacities of the human species: our categorical refusal to look ourselves in the face.”

No trailer for the film has been released yet, though a short clip was released to the public during the 2023 Cannes Film Festival:
