Life becomes challenging, comic, and life-changing for Lydia, a widow, when she rents a room to Connie, a divorced free spirit.

Marcia Savin

1 man, 1 woman
25 minute romantic comedy

As an attractive woman in her 60s moves into a senior apartment complex, she’s welcomed by a tenant from a park bench. He offers a “warmish” toddy from his thermos, explaining he’s toasting his departed friend. They sip and banter in the chilly air. Death makes her think on life and on what really matters. For her, it’s her memories. He quips that he tries to forget everything. She tells of her one great love — her long-absent husband — and how that memory sustained her through some hard times. He jokes and scoffs at the notion of “great love”. As she describes what made this man so special, he starts looking uneasy. They hear a street musician’s saxophone. He suggests they dance…

Do these two share a past? Does she really remember life as it was?  Can lost love be recovered?
