British star Julie Walters plays Judy Haussman in The Last of the Haussmans--a funny, touching and sometimes savage portrait of a family that's losing its grip. Anarchic, feisty but growing old, she remains in spirit with the Ashrams of the 1960s while holding court in her dilapidated Art Deco house on the Devon coast. After an operation, she's joined by wayward offspring Nick and Libby, sharp-eyed granddaughter Summer, local doctor Peter, and Daniel, a troubled teenager who makes use of the family's crumbling swimming pool. Together they share a few sweltering months in this chaotic world of all-day drinking, infatuations, long-held resentments, free love and failure.
