Just because you’re old, have a terminal illness, and are a curmudgeon doesn’t mean that you can’t celebrate life to the full.
Meet a lauded Shakespearean actor who reluctantly accepts a young caregiver who happens to also speak Shakespeare. Shaking off the over-protectiveness of his family, he jubilantly appears for his final prize — even though he may die on the spot and, worse, become incontinent. These two people will be your friends.
