Synopsis

Doris, a widow, lives alone.

Refusing to relinquish her independence, she surreptitiously cleans when her home help, Zulema, is absent.

When we meet her, she has just fallen over whilst attempting to dust a picture frame high on the wall.

The day goes on; unable to get help, Doris reminisces about her quiet, uneventful life with its joys and sadnesses.
