Synopsis:

Jonathan Younger (Donald Sutherland) runs his offbeat storage facility as if it were an odd amalgam of a nightclub for the rich and famous and a pied a terre for The Addams Family. He greets each customer and potential customer with the flair and sinister graciousness of Bela Lugosi at the door of Castle Dracula. From time to time, mysterious organ music audibly emanates from the basement. His wife (Lolita Davidovich) has the messy business of making sure that this very ordinary business pays the bills. Both of them are hoping that their son (Brendan Fraser) will come back from his pricey college studies in England and take over the business. Things take a sharp left turn when some of his customers become media celebrities, suspected of killing the man in their family. This quirky black comedy was made by the director of the sublimely zany Baghdad Cafe.

One day, after witnessing one infidelity too many, Penny drops dead of a heart-attack, leaving her husband Jonathan and his just-graduated-from-college son Winston to run the family self-storage business. With Jonathan's disinterest and Winston's inexperience, 'Younger & Younger Self Storage' begins to fall apart. While Winston tries desperately to figure out the books, Jonathan becomes obsessed with visions of his dead wife. With each 'visit' the formerly dumpy Penny becomes younger and more beautiful, until Jonathan falls in love with her all over again. Is she real, or is he losing his mind?

The story centres on a father and son who run a shop, have a troubled relationship and who each have tempestuous home lives.
