Varje vecka pratar Hubert Bird med sin dotter i Australien. Han berättar detaljerat om sitt händelserika pensionärsliv, med dagarna fyllda av goda vänner och upplyftande aktiviteter.Sanningen är att dagarna går utan att Hubert träffar en enda kotte. Men när dottern oväntat bestämmer sig för att komma hem och hälsa på ställs hans tillvaro på ända. Nu står Hubert inför en till synes omöjlig uppgift: att få sitt verkliga liv att likna sitt uppdiktade liv innan sanningen kommer fram.Längs vägen snubblar Hubert över en andra chans till kärlek, återupptar en sedan länge förlorad vänskap och anmäler sig till ett hektiskt aktivitetschema i PRO-föreningen, något som borde sätta punkt för ensamheten en gång för alla.En sång för alla dom är en stundtals rolig, ibland allvarlig men samtidigt väldigt varm och rörande skildring av kärlek, utanförskap, ålderdom och vänskap som påminner om att ett vänligt ingripande från en främling kan förändra liv.
