Video produced in 1985 by Mobius Media Corporation, Rexdale, Ontario. This short drama is about the emotional abuse and neglect of the elderly. Locked in her room day after day, a woman who lives with her son and his family whiles away her time watching television. Except for an occasional visit from her granddaughter, she is virtually ignored. The daughter-in-law resents having to put aside her career plans to take care of her husband's mother and wants to place her in a nursing home. The granddaughter, upset about growing domestic conflict and the treatment her grandmother is receiving, implores hers parents to get professional counselling. A discussion-starter on the problem of abuse of the elderly.
