Report
Oliver meets the irreverent and unpredictable Anna only months after his father Hal Fields has passed away. This new love floods Oliver with memories of his father, who, following the death of his wife of 44 years, came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energized, and wonderfully tumultuous gay life – which included a younger boyfriend.

There are scenes where it is obvious to the audience that two of the characters had just finished having s*x but nothing graphic is shown.

It's a pretty ambiguous ending so I guess whether you consider it happy or sad is based on your own interpretation. I'd say it's both.
