The great Brian Cox (ChurchillRise of the Planet of the Apes) stars as an irascible, terminally ill actor who meets his match in a plucky caregiver in the Odd Couple-ish comedy-drama The Carer.

Terminally ill theatrical legend Sir Michael Gifford (Cox) is not to let his affliction stand in the way of what could well be his final on-stage appearance — a ceremony by the Critic’s Guild of Great Britain honoring him with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Standing in his way instead is his overbearing daughter, Sophia (Emilia Fox), who’s determined to prevent him from attending the ceremony in his delicate condition and insistent on hiring a caretaker to see him through his final days. Enter aspiring Hungarian stage actress Dorottya (newcomer Coco König)…

Directed by Budapest-born filmmaker János Edelényi, this BAFTA-nominated drama also features Emilia Fox, Anna Chancellor and a special appearance by Roger Moore.

As a bonus feature, the DVD also includes interviews.
