The story

Martha is an elderly woman living alone in her flat and dying of cancer. Her love of life leads to an ambivalence about her age; her unique moral code leads to her playing cupid for her friend and nurse Anna and Anna's married lover Peter; her worrisome son Jonathan wants her to move into a home; her neighbour Billy has dementia. Martha remembers the death of her baby in a bombing attack during World War Two.
