Our Review:
14 May 2010
Old age is the final war that most of us are called on to fight. Jimmy’s battle is his second great conflict. His first was as a tail-gunner in thirty missions during the Second World War – his current one against hardened arteries, prostate cancer and a series of mini-strokes that have robbed him of much of his mobility and dignity.
He ekes out his time in an old peoples’ home tended by newcomer David who is fighting battles of his own; engagements that have left him rebuilding his life as a care-assistant seeking new meaning to his existence after redundancy and a failed marriage.
At first victim to Jimmy’s frustrated baiting the two come to form a closer relationship built around reminisces of his RAF service and particular memories of wartime companions who failed to survive.
