Overview

Jack Dodd was a London butcher who enjoyed a pint with his mates for over 50 years. When he died, he died as he lived, with a smile on his face watching a horse race on which he had bet, with borrowed money. But before he died he had a final request, 'Last Orders', that his ashes be scattered in the sea at Margate. The movie follows his mates, Ray, Lenny and Vic and his foster son Vince as they journey to the sea with the ashes. Along the way, the threads of their lives, their loves and their disappointments are woven together in their memories of Jack and his wife Amy

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A tender, unhurried journey where four aging friends carry their dead mate's ashes to the sea, and in doing so, unpack decades of shared history, regret, and the quiet bonds that hold a life together. It's a film that moves at the pace of men who have nowhere to be but each other's company.
