本片根据布雷克·莫里森同名小说改编，由曾拍摄《她比烟花寂寞》和《导购女郎》的著名导演安南德·图克尔执导。
四十岁的专栏作家布雷克·莫里森（柯林·费斯 饰）刚辞了工作，准备创作一部小说。父亲阿瑟（吉姆·布劳特本 饰）身患绝症的消息，让他一些字陷入了对过去的回忆：父亲专制的爱不仅带走了童年短暂的快乐，还使父子二人的感情渐渐疏远。当成年的布雷克不断和父亲对抗时，父亲也在不断与病魔斗争。可是，即便到了此刻，对于记忆中女人贝蒂（萨拉·兰凯萨 饰）和父亲的关系，布雷克始终无法释怀，面对即将离世的父亲，已为人父的布雷克终于明白，缠绕心中多年的疑问，是时候找到答案了。
温蒂（艾莉森·斯戴曼 Alison Steadman 饰）和丈夫安迪（吉姆·布劳德本特 Jim Broadbent 饰）结婚多年，两人育有两个女儿娜塔莉（克莱尔·斯金纳 Claire Skinner 饰）和尼古拉（简·霍洛克斯 Jane Horrocks 饰）。温蒂本分贤惠，操持着家中大大小小的事务，而安迪辛勤工作，希望有一天能够自立门户。
娜塔莉是一名水管工，个性开朗的她向往自由不羁的生活，喜欢和朋友们待在一起，然而，尼古拉却恰恰相反，有些神经质的她不仅整天紧张兮兮，还患有厌食症。尼古拉和男友之间的感情产生了裂缝，这让尼古拉的精神濒临了崩溃的边缘，与此同时，安迪在一次意外之中身负重伤，整个家庭的重担全部落在了温蒂和娜塔莉的肩头。
