Oliver (McGregor) is a man trying to deal with the revelations that his 75 year old father, Hal (Plummer), is not only terminally ill, but also gay.

Quote: Oliver

My parents got married in 1955. They had a child and stayed married for 44 years until my mother died. Six months later my father told me he was gay. I imagined him wearing a purple sweater while he was saying this but it was really a robe.
