Agáta, a sensitive and impractical childless widow, is placed in a retirement home not out of neglect or poverty but because her middle-aged relatives, overwhelmed by their own responsibilities, believe she will fare better among peers. Unprepared for life among strangers with quirky habits and opinions, she strives to adapt yet finds herself traumatized by the selfishness of a difficult roommate.
The original contemporary TV movie is an intimate story of a relationship between a middle-aged man and woman whose perspective is diminished by a different set of moral values. It is also a confrontation of two principles at work in today's world - the ruthlessly pragmatic, the ruthlessly "impractical" in its focus on the dying values of interpersonal relationships, the quiet harmony of life, and aesthetic beauty.
