An elderly couple prepares to share the old man’s “final message to the world,” filling the room with laughter, mischief, and tender memories. Surrounded by an ever-growing circle of chairs, they celebrate a lifetime of love, stubborn devotion, and human absurdity. Hilarious, heartbreaking, and unforgettable, this is a story of two souls determined to be heard—no matter what—or who—answers back.
