Oliver (Ewan McGregor) ontmoet de onvoorspelbare Anna (Mélanie Laurent), enkele maanden na de dood van z’n vader Hal (Christopher Plummer). Deze nieuwe liefde overspoelt Oliver met herinneringen aan z’n vader die – na een huwelijk van 44 jaar – op 75-jarige leeftijd eindelijk uit de kast kwam als homoseksueel. De onthulling van Hal bracht vader en zoon dichter bij elkaar dan ze ooit waren. Nu tracht Oliver Anna lief te hebben met alle lef, humor en hoop die hij van z’n vader geleerd heeft.
