Available for 19.99 USD

A compassionate portrait of an elderly - and frustrated - woman adjusting to new town life and finding a new purpose in living.

Above all, Sylvia can't understand Harold's odd, thrusting idealism and the strange behaviour of her grandchildren.
But a chance meeting and a family crisis give her the chance to fulfil herself ...
