This is the record of how a 75-year-old
woman takes up her late husband's video equipment, and through it
gradually gains solace and contentment in her life. The average person
might give up after futilely trying to fathom the difficult-to-
understand technical instruction manual, but this indomitable lady even
travels to distant Brazil where he son lives so that he can show her
exactly how to use the equipment. The trials of her video education are
what makes this such an appealing film. It is truly refreshing and
interesting. This video self-portrait of an older woman seeking meaning
in her life might seem to belong to the home video category and
therefore appropriate as a winner of a video communications award. But
it was so well done that the judges chose it for the Video Grand Prize.
