Here’s what happened. Maybe. Phoebe is about to turn 70, and has grown sick of retirement. She enrols in an evening art course, where she befriends fellow retirees Eva and Dave. They also happen to be studying across the road from a two-million-dollar Picasso. The trio make a promising start, only to find that the school is to be closed due to arts cuts implemented by a blundering government minister.
