It is Christmas Eve and Robert Tucker, now 80 years old, lies dying in a hospital bed. He recalls his mother's funeral, and sees himself as a child being chided by a nun for running in the school corridor. As an adult, he looks after his sick mother and fantasizes about muscle men. He remembers his part as an angel in a childhood nativity play, and also recalls his mother's death in another hospital bed. The fantasies grow stronger even as Robert begins to lose his frail grip on life, bring the Terence Davies Trilogy to a moving, ethereal conclusion.

Wikipedia
Terence Davies (10 November 1945 -) is an English screenwriter - film director, sometime novelist and actor. As a filmmaker, Davies is noted for his recurring themes of emotional (and sometimes physical) endurance, the influence of memory on everyday life and the potentially crippling effects of dogmatic religiosity on the emotional life of individuals and societies. Stylistically, Davies' works are notable for their symmetrical compositions, "symphonic" structure and measured pace. He is also the sole screenwriter of all his films. Contrary to the credits accorded him on IMDB.com, Terence Davies has never acted professionally.
