| Synopsis: |
Widow Ethel Savage uses her late husband’s millions to set up a charity to help people fulfill their wildest hopes and dreams. Convinced she’s crazy, her stepchildren commit her to an asylum where she finds new allies in the quirky residents and staff, who help her outwit her stepchildren. A gentle comedy of wit and wisdom, diverse and richly layered characters, strong plotline with twists, and the best punchlines ever written. |
