Weller and Fonsia are two spritely, tough senior citizens who meet at a “home for the aged.” The sardonic Weller cajoles Fonsia into playing a series of gin games on the home's sunlit porch. As they seemingly become close companions, much is revealed about their respective regret–filled lives –– to the steady shuffling and playing of cards. Their mutual need for solace is momentarily satisfied, until Weller's pent–up rage, and Fonsia's subtle needling, build to a terrible confrontation.

“Perfect….A vibrant study on loneliness, disillusion, old age and death yet fiercely funny.”
