Synopsis: Simon Konianski knows all about the
generation gap. Forced – at age 35 – to move back temporarily to live with his
ailing father, Ernest, the two soon become like a French Steptoe & Son,
bickering over every aspect of Simon’s under-achieving life: failed
relationship, failed career, child out of wedlock with an exotic dancer. But
soon Ernest passes away, and Simon, faithfully honouring his last request to be
buried in the town of his birth, sets off on a comic family trip to deepest
Ukraine in the company of his outrageously eccentric Aunt and Uncle, his six
year old son, obsessed with Grandpa’s war stories, and a whole host of
unwelcome ghosts from the past, including Ernest himself.
