Iris is the true story of Iris Murdoch, the acclaimed English novelist and philosopher and her life with novelist John Bayley. The story is based on two of John Bayley's novels about their life together and focuses on Iris's lust for life and for words. In their older years it becomes clear that Iris is suffering from Alzheimers. For a novelist, this is the worst condition to have as she slowly loses her thought process and ability to communicate with the outside world. But Iris's spirit knew no bounds and her story is told thoughtfully and provocatively through her husband's eyes.
