Summary

It’s Virgie’s eighty-fourth birthday and she is making a big decision. Seeing herself as an artist first and foremost, and then a mother, Virgie has not reckoned on her family and friends to thwart her plans.

This moving black comedy reimagines the process of ageing with the emotional relationship of the family.
