In a quiet seaside nursing home, two unlikely companions find a new lease on life through a shared passion. Martin Landau stars as Dr. Abe Mandelbaum, a brilliant but ailing geriatrician who has reluctantly moved in with his daughter, while Paul Sorvino is Phil Nicoletti, a charismatic, womanizing painter with a sharp wit. Brought together by their weekly poker game, the two men forge a poignant and often hilarious friendship, their banter masking deeper loneliness and unspoken regrets. Their routine is upended when a mysterious nurse’s aide, Angela, played by Maria Dizzia, arrives and captures both men’s attention, stirring up old desires and prompting a quest that becomes far more meaningful than any card game. Directed by Howard Weiner, this bittersweet dramedy explores the vulnerabilities and unexpected adventures of later life, blending wry humor with genuine heart as Abe and Phil confront their pasts and gamble on one last chance at connection.
