Sir Michael Gifford színészlegenda lehetetlen alak: mindenkivel goromba, folyamatosan káromkodik, kiszámíthatatlan, amióta pedig gyógyíthatatlan beteg, még elviselhetetlenebb. Gondozók sorát űzte már el maga mellől, és most újabb áldozata érkezik, az Angliába települt fiatal magyar színésznő, Dorottya. A lány titkon abban reménykedik, hogy Sir Michael a szárnyai alá veszi, tanulhatja tőle a mesterséget, ám az idős színész vele is nyers és bárdolatlan. Amikor azonban kiderül, hogy Dorottyának van humorérzéke, ráadásul nagy rajongója Shakespeare-nek, kapcsolatuk egy csapásra megváltozik: Michael megenyhül, egykori önmagát látja a lány törekvésében, Dorottya pedig barátra talál az idős színészben. Sir Michael lánya viszont ráébred, hogy Dorottyát milyen szándékok vezérelték a házba, és gondolkodás nélkül felmond a lánynak. Sir Michael ettől teljesen összeomlik, kórházba kerül, és immár önmagának kénytelen feltenni a kérdést: "Lenni vagy lenni?"
