The director returns from India to London to take care of his elderly uncle. David, a former actor still able to quote Shakespeare, is a single gay man, an eccentric and colourful person. The plan was to record a farewell, but the uncle is not intent on dying. Unexpectedly, the final stage of his life changes into a crime and adventure story, including a fire and kidnapping, which features young Latino crooks and suspect Polish neighbours. Nevertheless, one cannot cheat on time; thus there comes a moment when David gives his nephew one last lesson.
