a 75 year old father comes out to his son as gay after 44 years of marriage. a son trying to make sense of his disbelief of relationships, fueled by years of watching his parents' passionless marriage. it is a parallel story, of a father who always have faith in finding happiness, and his son's discovery that such a thing exists. in a world where some straight folks think it is alright to deny basic rights to gay people, this story asks many pertinent questions about the nature of happiness - that it is what we make do of what we have, that it needs work to sustain it, that denying something so basic is ruinous to people who are being forced to fit into the "normality".
christopher plummer is such a pleasure to watch.
