Synopsis/Details
The story centers on an old couple. We never see the wife apart from the back of her head as she sits in a chair. She never speaks either. It is the old man who does the talking and as he does we realise he's suffering from dementia. He's been a little worried about his wife becuause she isn't eating but doesn't really want to bother anyone about this. Gradually we realise something is very wrong here. When a woman comes rushing through the door and into their living room (who we might assume is their daughter)our suspicions are confirmed. As a script, Fuss tries to be as subtle as possible whilst allowing the reader to work out what is actually going on.
