Leslie and Maureen both live in Oldham. Leslie, a sixty year old bachelor, living with his aged mother, is bitter that his sister Maureen, neglectful and snobbish and living nearby, never visits. Maureen, a middle aged housewife, feels rejected by Leslie, her mother and friends and would do more if only she was asked. Even family tragedy fails to resolve their differences. If only they would communicate with each other and let love conquer all. A amusing and deeply moving, astutely observed family comedy.
