In the silent confines of her home, Rosa bathes, cooks, eats and watches TV. She seeks company in vain. A monument to the lonely older woman with affection to spare. The final scene, where she sits and smokes at the table, naked, could be a Hopper painting, without being coquettish in any way. Screened before Hoy como ayer.
