    • Point de vue de l'éditeur: Délocaliser les vieillards! C'est l'idée lumineuse qui va sauver le docteur Ravi Kapoor, un médecin londonien épuisé par son travail quotidien et par les soucis que lui cause son insupportable beau-père, Norman Purse, un vieux bonhomme égoïste, sans-gêne et, de surcroît, obsédé sexuel. Déjà expulsé de toutes les maisons de retraite convenables, Norman semble impossible à caser. C'est alors qu'un cousin de Ravi, un dynamique homme d'affaires, projette de créer en Inde une chaîne de maisons de retraite très "vieille Angleterre", où les britanniques d'âge avancé pourraient retrouver, au soleil et dans la paix, les moeurs et l'atmosphère de leur jeunesse

    • James is getting on a bit and needs full-time help. So Phoebe and Robert, his middle-aged offspring, employ Mandy, who seems willing to take him off their hands. But as James regales his family with tales of Mandy's virtues, their shopping trips, and the shared pleasure of their journeys to garden centres, Phoebe and Robert sense something is amiss. Is this really their father, the distant figure who never once turned up for a sports day, now happily chortling over cuckoo clocks and television soaps? Then something happens that throws everything into new relief, and Phoebe and Robert discover that life most definitely does not stop for the elderly. It just moves onto a very different plane - changing all the stories they thought they knew so well.
