An accomplished writer and poet, Blade Morrison (Colin Firth) has come to his parents' home to spend a few final days with his dying father, Arthur (Academy Award-winner Jim Broadbent, 2001, Best Supporting Actor, Iris), a kindhearted but exasperating country doctor whose oftentimes boorish behavior has led to his son's increasing estrangement. Yet as Arthur slowly slips away, memories of their past - both good and bad - force Blake to accept the possibility that his "immortal, invincible and infallible" father is, after all, only human. This heartfelt and moving story is adapted from the bestselling memoir by Blake Morrison.
