| Description | Examines the powerlessness of old age in the face of convoluted, if well-meaning, bureaucracy. Dottie, despite advancing years and a dodgy hip, competently and optimistically looks after her friend Rose, who's had a stroke and suffers from other health problems. They might be able to struggle on for a bit longer if the local authority didn't have plans to pull their house down, and as the future looks increasingly bleak, Dottie's determination turns into desperation. | |||||||||||||||||||
