As her hundredth year draws near, she decides to record the events of her life but hides the manuscript. Meanwhile, the hospital is preparing to close and is evaluating which patients can return to society. Dr. Grene, Roseanne’s caretaker, takes a special interest in her case.

As doctor and patient attempt to understand each other, they begin to uncover long-buried secrets about themselves.
