- Synopsis
- “My plan was to die before the money ran out,” says 60-year-old Frances Price (Michelle Pfeiffer), whose beauty and eccentricity have enthralled Manhattan for
  decades, but things don't go as planned for Frances. Her husband Franklin has
  been dead for 20 years and with his vast inheritance gone, she cashes in the last of
  her possessions and resolves to live out her final days anonymously in a modest
  apartment in Paris, accompanied by her directionless son Malcolm (Lucas
  Hedges) and 'Small Frank' the family cat. But far from getting away from it all,
  people just can't seem to leave Frances alone. The apartment becomes filled with
  people from her old life and added to, by those from her new one. As ever, Frances
  hosts an imperfect situation with style, as she has always done in her role as a
  devoted wife and mother. Malcolm will never have a job, and Franklin appears
  somehow to have morphed into Small Frank (Tracy Letts) and as a cat he is a lot
  easier to deal with.
