Venus

Plot Outline: Maurice and Ian are close friends and aging actors. Ian is particularly fearful that death is right around the corner, so he agrees to let his niece's daughter, Jessie, move in to his flat to care for him. Jessie, a provincial girl in her early twenties, turns out to be a hard-drinking, rude, and dismissive twerp. Unlike Ian, Maurice sees her potential and she blossoms under his kindness and gentle guidance. But when Maurice begins to fall in love with the girl fifty years his junior, things become complicated.
