In sepia tones, the film moves back and forth among three periods in Robert Tucker's life: he's an old man, near death, in a nursing home at Christmas time; he's in middle age caring for his cheerful but dying mother; he's a lad at Catholic school, practicing his catechism, going to confession for the first time, receiving the Eucharist, surrounded by the singing of a children's choir. In middle age, he looks through his scrapbook of photographs of muscular men; he recalls lovers and his mother's cremation. A nurse sits beside him on his last night; in his last breath, he reaches forward and back.. 　　译文(2): 影片以深褐色的色调，在罗伯特 · 塔克生命中的三个阶段之间来回移动: 他是一个濒临死亡的老人，在圣诞节期间住在养老院; 他在中年照顾他快乐但垂死的母亲; 他是一个天主教学校的孩子，练习他的教义问答，第一次去忏悔，接受圣餐，被儿童合唱团的歌声包围。中年时，他浏览自己的肌肉男照片剪贴簿; 他回忆起恋人和母亲的火葬。在他生命的最后一个晚上，一个护士坐在他身边; 在他生命的最后一刻，他向前和向后伸手。.
