Married couple Fred (Elliot Gould) and Susan (Judith Roberts) have lived in their country home for over fifty years. As varying illnesses start to take their toll (Susan, in particular, has become almost completely dependant on live-in nurse Veronica), their two children, Bob (Fred Melamed) and Carol (Stephanie Roth Haberie) are forced to step in and arrange for their transition to a full-time home. However, with Fred’s resilience to change and desire to hold on to what’s left of his relationship with Susan, the move won’t be an easy one.
Writer and director Richard Ledes constructs a warm-hearted, tender portrait that avoids artifice and ridiculously non-sensical catastrophes. The uncomfortable, yet realistic scenario Fred, Susan, Bob and Carol are met with, and subsequently forced to deal with in the two days we spend with them, is one that rings true in a way that will enable audiences to connect immediately with each individual.
