Just about as good as it gets, this is one very special film indeed.

Tears will - most definitely - flow.

The(ir) Blurb...

84-year-old cellist Ceri has lost his husband to cancer and his ability to play to a debilitating stroke. His dull life is spent in solitude, save for the interruptions of agency carers and the solace of his iPad. Seizing the opportunity that a night-time staff shortage brings; he uses Grindr to invite 20-year-old rent-boy Iestyn to visit.
