Overview

Four inter-connected vignettes featuring four women: Emily, a widow moving into a new apartment meets the owner of her moving company and begins an affair; Celia, wife of a bigoted ex-Army Sergeant has invited an old chum for a visit. As the men relive "old times" and sports events, Celia is left out in the cold; Dorothy and her husband, celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary, try as adroitly as possible to learn if the other has been faithful through the years; And then comes Ma, who turns out to be the mother of all three women, a headstrong Irish lady who rises from her deathbed to have the priest sanctify her common law marriage to a Dutchman.
