When Tom is widowed after 40 years of marriage, he is to be reluctantly looked after by his son and daughter in law. For 4 decades he has been suppressed by the will of a dominant woman - no smoking, no drinking or looking at other women. Now he is determined to live life to the full, while he has the time, but this causes friction in the household.
