Synopsis:
In a letter, Flaubert wrote, "We laugh with pity at the vanity of the human will." One hundred years later it is this laughter that we celebrate, as Weller Martin tries desperately to retain some control over his life despite falling into ill health and becoming a reluctant resident of a nursing home. Fonsia Dorsey serves as the symbol of all gone wrong, and his battles with her, though over a simple game of gin, become not only a conflict with the woman but with divine will itself.
