Dot (Fricker) is losing both her sight and her grip on reality. When Dot’s neurotic granddaughter shows up, announcing that she intends to break the couple up by putting Dot in a nursing home, Stella sees a way out; they must head to Canada and get married. What follows is an alternately poignant and riotous comedy that has much to say about the true nature of love and commitment.
