A
Month of Sundays is a bittersweet comedy about the challenges of
growing old. It is set in a rest home in the south of England. Cooper,
who is mentally fit but physically frail, is a cynic. He’s
likely to pick fights with whomever he can, particularly his daughter
Julia who visits him every month. His friend Aylott, who is physically
strong, is suffering from the onset of dementia. Midst the nostalgia
for times past, especially their best cricket team, they deal with
their problems: the inexorable onslaught of old age, the complicated
feelings revolving around family and friendships, and the challenges
of forging new relationships with the characters that people their
new world: Mrs Baker, the cleaning lady, and Nurse Cooper.
