But when Gram breaks her hip Michael must face facts: it is time to move her to a nursing home. As Michael prepares Helen, Walter, his estranged father, shows up. They confront old issues. Otto, Helen’s bachelor neighbor, a Greek waiter, provides comic relief while Venus, Michael’s girlfriend, complicates the mix with her demands for a commitment.
