Synopsis

Set in the present day, "The Iron Lady" spends three days with Margaret Thatcher, now in her 80s, her world constrained by her security needs and the debilities of age.

Making yet another of the many tough decisions of her turbulent life, she decides, finally, to let go of his clothes and possessions.
