THE OLD MAN'S FRIEND

(1 WOMAN, 4 MEN)

Suzanne Kaufman is working on her career, her marriage, and her relationship with her twelve-year-old son. When she learns that her father, Len, has been given only a short time to live, Suzanne brings him into her home. When Len experiences "failure to die," Suzanne's well-ordered life is shaken to the core until she, herself, is forced to face her own mortality.
