Lost for Words (1999) (original) (raw)
Pete Postlethwaite stars as Deric alongside Dame Thora Hird as his indomitable mother, Annie. Gregarious, free spirited and unabashedly quirky, Annie could put anyone under the spell of her unique charisma. However, when it becomes apparent that she is too old to live alone anymore, Deric must choose a nursing home for her, a task that proves to be difficult, though Annie handles it in her characteristically bold and no nonsense manner. However, when a series of strokes robs her of her speech, her most treasured faculty, she and Deric must come to terms with her declining health.
