A Very Serious Person

USA, 2006. 96 mins. Wolfe Vid.

Precocious teen Gil loves vacations with his beloved grandma Mrs. A. Mrs. A is raising the boy, whose parents are deceased. But this year s summer is different. Grandma s health is failing, and she requires a live-in caregiver. When Danish male nurse Jan arrives on the scene, Gil doesn't know how to react to the business-like nurse. Likewise, Jan isn't interested in Gil he is totally focused on his new patient. Although Gil and housekeeper Betty are certain that Grandma will dislike Jan as much as they do, Jan suits Mrs. A perfectly, cooking her healthy foods and soothing her in a way no previous nurse has been able to do.
