Some Family Secrets are Best Kept Buried.

Keeping Mum stars Rowan Atkinson as an absent-minded pastor of a rural parish who is so distracted by the pressures of the job that he fails to notice his wife's (Kristin Scott Thomas) dalliance with her brash golf instructor (Patrick Swayze), his daughter's parade of new boyfriends, and his young son's regular trouncing by the school bullies. Enter their charming new housekeeper, Grace (Maggie Smith), a sweet old lady with her own distinctive definition of cleaning house - and a very unusual way of solving problems.
