Synopsis:

An ageing grandmother loses her five senses, one after the other before finally becoming a wooden chair. Throughout her transformation, she realizes that her housekeeper is not the wild animal she once thought she was, but the caring and loyal family member she was sadly lacking. A poignant story about illness and growing old which employs imagination and metaphor to show the difficult and painful process of departing.


 الملخص:

الجدة المسنة تفقد حواسها الخمس، واحدة تلو الأخرى قبل أن تصبح أخيراً كرسي خشبي، طوال فترة تبدلها تلك، أدركت أن مدبرة منزلها ليست حيواناً برياً كما كانت ظنت، بل هي أحد أفراد الأسرة المعتنين بها والمخلصين والذين كانت تفتقدهم للأسف. قصة مؤثرة عن المرض والشيخوخة توظف الخيال والاستعارة لإبراز مخاض الرحيل الصعب والمؤلم.
