- Synopsis
The only reason film maker Simon Chambers returned to London to look after his exuberant gay actor Uncle David was because David said he only had a few months to live. But four years later it’s clear that David has no intention of dying and Simon is reluctantly on the rollercoaster of ups and downs that it is being a family carer in this “piercingly personal” and “achingly funny-sad film” (Variety)
