Further details
Bit-part actor Richard returns from London to his home to Forres in the Scottish Highlands for a long overdue visit to the recently-widowed Ken. However, he soon realises his dad might be in need of a bit more full-time help. Not that Ken would agree, of course, but that statement is pretty much true about anything.
An eccentric, strong-willed technophobe, Ken is set in his ways, leaving Richard worrying about his dad growing old.
