Two ageing actors, Emily and Henry, have been married for 45 years. In their modest suburban flat they are preparing for the night of nights. It's the Academy Awards ceremony and they both hope to finally receive the appropriate recognition for their life's work. Accordingly nervous, they somehow get the day over with. They reminisce, quote Shakespeare and Goethe and discuss appropriate wardrobe.

When Jeff finally shows up, the young man from the mobile lunch service, the two finally have the audience they so desperately need. But Jeff uncovers a life lie with his persistent questions about the couple's son. For their son Bill is neither a doctor, as Emily claims, nor a lawyer, as Henry would have Jeff believe, but died of an overdose years ago. What Emily and Henry don't know: Bill left behind a son, their grandson.
