Movie Summary: Oliver meets the irreverent and unpredictable Anna only months after his father Hal Fields has passed away. This new love floods Oliver with memories of his father, who, following the death of his wife of 44 years, came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energized, and wonderfully tumultuous gay life – which included a younger boyfriend.

Queer Film LA Says: Christopher Plummer won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his warm portrayal of a man who comes out at age 75 after his wife dies, shocking his son with his simultaneous announcements that he has cancer and a young lover.
