Sam wants to become a dancer while Jacob hopes to be an actor. Jacob somewhat achieves his goal, but Sam fails to make it.
Years pass, but the two friends remain in touch.
Recently, Sam informs Jacob that he acquired an Abyssinian cat named Millament and his present girl friend Emilla is thirty years younger than he is. Unexpectedly, Sam dies from a heart attack. Jacob meets Emilla when he comes to clear out Sam's things. Jacob takes the cat home with him accompanied by Emilla so that can help each other grieve. Unexpectedly, the elderly arthritic Millament begins hoofing like a professional dancer and follows that up by talking.
