On Golden Pond is a screenplay written by Ernest Thompson. The story is based on Norman, a crusty, retired professor grappling with many effects of aging. He has been married for many years to upbeat, feisty Ethel but has a remote, difficult relationship with their daughter. At their summer home on Golden Pond, Norman and Ethel agree to care for Billy, the son of Chelsea's new boyfriend, and an unexpected relationship blooms.
