Please Give is a hidden treasure and unfortunately this is more due to a lack of promotion for the film. The story is about a husband-wife team of vintage furniture dealers, Alex (Oliver Platt) and Kate (Catherine Keener) who are successful at what they do. The couple visits the homes of deceased elderly people scouting for pieces to sell at their shop and with their accumulated wealth, they are hoping to acquire the flat of their neighbour, a miserable 90 year-old Andra (Ann Morgan Guilbert), after she passes on.
Andra's granddaughter Rebecca (Rebecca Hall) is a Mammogram Technician who cares for her on a regular basis. After struggling to meet a boyfriend, one of her elderly patients Mrs. Portman (Lois Smith) introduces Rebecca to her grandson Eugene (Thomas Ian Nicholas), meaning that she has less time for her grandmother. Rebecca's sister Mary (Amanda Peet) is a Aesthetician and seems to have inherited some of her grandmother's cynicism towards the world and pretty much despises her grandmother, avoiding her at all costs. With Rebecca focusing on her relationship with Eugene, Mary is forced to spend more time with her grandmother, though she has no patience for her negativity.
