Weakened by the mental burden she carries on her shoulders, Micheline feels isolated in a now very silent house. My grandmother, a woman who is slowly losing her husband, my grandfather, to his degeneration. An ode to the silent strengths of the women of this generation, often pillars more by obligation than by choice.
