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 him, through all his performative exuberance and anarchic charisma, as various people (including a sexy young hustler) possibly take advantage of him. As their lives intertwine, the younger man (also single and queer) reflects with aching honesty on what may await him in the years to come, in this moving yet hilarious film.
