When the filmmaker Simon Chambers receives a call from his elderly gay uncle – "I think I may be dying!" – he takes it as a summons. As it turns out, eccentric Uncle David, a retired actor living alone in a cluttered London house, is being dramatic, sort of. For the next five years, Chambers both cares for and documents his exuberant, maddening uncle.
"Here is a vital film about an extraordinary, infuriating human being...like a character from Harold Pinter but, despite the abundant pressures, kinder and sunnier than that playwright would ever allow." -The Irish Times
