Plot Aspects

 My idea in a more clear view. This film has a reference to my grandmother. She is not alone as she has us but when she goes back to her apartment after visiting us I think of her of being lonely in her room. She lives in an older community building where there are many elders who don't get visitors at all. I imagine their lives and this gave me the idea to produce this story.

My plot aspect is the sedentary and lonely life of an older single woman. A woman in her late 70's who immigrated from a different country with her own culture and beliefs which differed from the American culture she has been trying to assimilate for years. She lives in an older community building. The building is old with a slow elevator and old painting on the walls. It has many empty apartments as elders die and nobody shows up for their belongings so my character does not have interactions with people; therefore, she becomes more anti social as year passes. Her apartment is dark and has the basic items. She does not like clutter. 

Her daily life is a routine until she has to go to the doctor. On one of those days she goes to the doctor, she trips and falls and she is required to go to the hospital. Her daily routine is changed. She is upset, sour and does not want anyone around her at the hospital.

A nurse resembles a good friend of hers when she was young. This nurse is the only one allowed in the room. There are some hard times between them until they both start getting along. Edith is no longer allowed to be by herself. She will have to be monitored by someone and the empathy from the nurse changes the course of Edith's lonely life.


An inspiration:

The movie "Up" from 2009 reminds me of Edith. It is about an old man who was lonely in his small house and nothing would cheer him up. A change on his daily routine made him meet a kid, he got caught up with this kid with no way of getting rid of him. He got used to him and feelings started to make the old man happier.
