Synopsis
Jonathan Younger owns a self-storage facility, and runs it with his wife Penny, with who he has a strained relationship. One day Penny, a plain and skittish woman, is startled by a great deal of noise Jonathan makes with an organ and dies from a heart attack.

Reception
The summary of Leonard Klady's favorable 'Variety' review reads "The iconoclastic oeuvre of Percy Adlon provides another unusual human comedy in "Younger and Younger." Superficially a family drama of an errant, philandering father, the yarn spins out from its simple premise into fantasy, music, black comedy and innumerable offbeat digressions. Its a mad, wild souffle served up by actors at the top of their form." Writing for 'Entertainment Weekly', Melissa Pierson differs: "When a film stuffed with this much talent goes straight to video, you might suspect something. And youd be largely right. C- ."
