Christopher Plummer, who won the Best Supporting Oscar for this role, plays the senior who is relieved to finally embrace his identity.
In the process, he is trying to keep up with a new (and much younger) boyfriend while learning what it means to be gay at age 75, just five years before he would die of cancer.
All of a sudden Dad is writing political letters and even tries out a gay club.
The movie was popular at the box office.
