In the movie Still Mine, an elderly couple named Craig and Irene Morrison are determined to build their final home on their family-owned land in rural New Brunswick, Canada. Craig is a skilled carpenter and wants to construct a small, sustainable, and functional house specially designed to cater to their needs.

As they navigate the bureaucratic requirements to obtain building permits, Craig faces resistance and opposition from the local authorities. Despite being in good health, Irene is slowly succumbing to memory loss and struggles with everyday tasks. Craig believes that building their own home will help preserve Irene's mental and emotional well-being, ensuring their comfort and safety in their twilight years.

Frustrated with the inefficient bureaucratic system, Craig decides to begin construction without official permission. However, the authorities catch wind of his defiance and threaten him with legal repercussions, including potential demolition of the unfinished house. Undeterred, Craig continues to build, leading to a legal battle between the elderly couple and the local authorities.

As the case gains media attention, the community rallies behind the Morrison family, recognizing the couple's determination to live out their final years in dignity and independence.

While the legal battle ensues, Irene's condition worsens. Craig becomes her primary caregiver, struggling to balance caring for Irene, fighting the legal fight, and continuing the construction. However, Irene's memory loss reaches a point where she becomes disoriented and unable to recognize her surroundings.

Eventually, a sympathetic judge presides over the case, seeing the uniqueness of Craig and Irene's situation and the love and dedication they have towards each other. The judge rules in their favor, allowing them to complete the construction. Inspired by their story, the local community helps Craig finish the house, offering their support and resources.

In the end, Craig successfully completes their home, creating a beautiful, functional, and loving space for them to spend their remaining years together. The movie emphasizes the importance of family, fighting for what is right, and the resilience of the human spirit, ultimately portraying a heartwarming story of love, determination, and the power of community.
