Film Description

A funny and tender account of a mother's decline. Thora Hird plays Annie Longden, an eccentric OAP whose mind does not always operate upon logical lines. When she suffers a series of strokes, however, her mental condition deteriorates, and she becomes increasingly unable to use the correct words for everyday objects. Son Deric (Pete Postlethwaite) copes with Annie's gradual decline with patient good humour.

A poignant and beautifully acted drama, based on playwright Deric Longden's own experiences of looking after his mother.
