A story from the present day set in an old folks home in the country. A newcomer brings a breath of fresh air into the humdrum life of the home. This sweet and charming old lady uses her kind heart and personal charisma to help jump-start the other residents into renewed youth and interest. But negative human traits emerge as well, and after she becomes the focus of the mens admiration, life is made unendurable for her by the slanderous tongues of the envious. She decides to go, leaving behind the realization that we all need more mutual tolerance and understanding.
