Documentary. Whenever Eileen Allen moaned about her mother-in-law, her husband Ernest said, "She's old. She won't be here much longer. Our turn will come later." Ernest is now dead. His mother is still alive - one of Eileen's "ladies" - six relatives all over 80. Amid family feuds, Eileen continues to care for them all and retain a sense of humour. Her bitter-sweet story will strike a chord with everybody who has ever had to cope with old age.
