Synopsis

One Day meets Up: The House That Made Us is a love story – and a life story – told through a series of photographs and based on a true story
 
When Mac and Marie marry and find a home of their own, Mac takes a snap of themselves outside their newbuild bungalow, the garden bare and the paint on the front door still wet. It becomes a tradition, this snap, and slowly the photographs build into an album of a fifty-year partnership.
 
Every year they take a photo and though things change around them – the garden matures, the fashions change, they grow older – the one constant is their love. Every year, come rain, come shine, from the Seventies through the decades, every photo tells the story of their love.
 
Until the last photo, where the couple becomes one, and their story comes to an end…
