Summary: 

The film takes place over 24 hours in the life of Margaret Thatcher, and is narrated through a series of flashbacks, depiciting an elderly Thatcher remembering moments that shaped her and the effect her political life has had on her, while clearing out her dead husband's belongings.
As the film begins, we are shown Margaret Thatcher, longest serving Prime Minister of 20th Century Britain, as an old woman walking to the shop alone to get milk. Gradually, we see her struggle with old age and changing times, and the lack of power that comes with both of these things. Through the scope of old age, and afflicted by dementia, Lady Thatcher looks back on defining moments of her personal and professional life; from her youth working in her father's grocery store in Grantham, listening to his political speeches as Alderman, to her rise through the House of Commons to Leader of the Conservative Party, and eventually, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Her rise to power is juxtaposed with her relative powerlessness in the present day, and the film uses the past as a medium to deal with this.
