Ray’s life is exactly as he thinks it should be for a man of 64. A widower, he baby-sits his grandchildren, drives his cab and meets his friends for a pint or two at the local pub. When we first meet Jim, he is embarking on a new life. Having just retired from a quiet life of teaching at a public school, he has a list of things to do. The first thing is to get out and see the world. The second is to fall in love. When Jim gets into Ray’s cab, both their lives are changed forever. Both men are from very different worlds and must come to terms with the lives they have been living before they can truly begin new chapters of their own. And both men must deal with their own family problems; Ray’s needy children are more concerned about their inheritance than their father’s happiness, and Jim is forced to make a difficult decision about his own sick father. With a script that constantly surprises and a dream cast of British actors, When I’m 64 is an honest and compelling drama that deals with aging, sexuality and the difficulties of family life without pulling punches. – SF
