Her only personal belonging is the memory of her two great loves: her mother and husband.
Lola lives in a public nursing home where everything is shared: the clothes, the showers, the only coffin and the endings. Her only personal belonging is the memory of her two great loves: her mother and husband. Thanks to them Lola has something to do every day, going to the main door’s window to check on her husband who lives across the street and to the phone, where she tries to call her mother. Both died long ago, but they are Lola’s only strength to reach her end in a world that, otherwise, is very impersonal for her.
Lola lives in a public nursing home, where even the only coffin is shared. Calling her mum and taking care of her husband, both now long gone, is part of her daily efforts to give value to her existence.
