However, it could have been: "Life happens when you are busy making other plans."*
Imelda Staunton plays the lead character, Sandra Abbott, who has been the dutiful politician's wife for decades, only to learn that her reward is not the one she imagined.
She expected that all those years keeping well coiffed and keeping house and keeping civil would result in her spending her "golden years" traveling in style.
Instead, she finds herself without husband, without home, and without her "posh" (as they say in the UK) friends.
Her husband's infidelity isn't really a spoiler because the crisis that pushes her into self-examination is depicted in the trailer:
This discovery drives her to reconnect with her sister Bif, played by Celia Imrie. Bif has lived a peripatetic life and flouts convention at every opportunity. Because of their different approaches to life. Sandra and Bif set each other off.
