This poignant, moving documentary from filmmaker Simon Chambers chronicles his journey from India to London to care for his Uncle David, a retired bohemian gay actor, and his unbreakable, anarchic spirit.
Dealing with the complicated questions of how to care for our elderly, and how to help them die the best death they can, it’s by turns hilarious and heartbreaking, while also touching on many important subjects.
Covering a range of important issues from loneliness to the roles of carers, this delicate film is both a beautiful work in itself and an important dispatch, as well as an ode and celebration.
A Q&A session with the film’s Director Simon Chambers takes place at the IFI following the screening at 6.30pm on Friday May 10th, when the film goes on general release. For bookings see ifi.ie
Q&A sessions are also scheduled to take place at Lighthouse Cinema, Dublin on Sunday May 12th and at Omniplex Rathmines, Dublin on Friday May 17th.
