The Old Man The Old Man follows Steve, a deaf father trying-and failing-to survive his unbelievably chaotic family. His blind wife Susan, brain-damaged daughter Abigail, and noseless son Earl turn a simple day at home into a disaster of screaming, smearing, and a mysterious cross-eyed dog that shows up only to eat turds off the floor. As a noodle-armed stranger with a toe growing from his palm joins the madness, Steve realizes his life has spiraled beyond all laws of nature. But just when the chaos peaks, he wakes up-forty years old, calm, living in a quiet apartment with a normal cat. It was all one disgusting, ridiculous nightmare. The Old Man is a fast, bizarre, gross-out comedy with a surreal twist and a surprisingly peaceful ending.
