The cast
Cuthbert Barnstable learns he has only 18 months to live. At first he only tells his friend, Henry, but he's constantly tempted to divulge his secret and then always disappointed by the reaction of his loved ones. Then he discovers what life's really all about and his family has to learn to live with an amateur bull fighter/nascent painter/master cook. He becomes a combination free spirit and hippie to the chagrin of his son and daughter in law. Cuthbert even has an extramarital affair. But he's pulled up short when he learns that the diagnosis may not have been correct. |
