Yes, back to the movie. Her husband dies, she tries and tries to get over him and on with her life. She's living in a standard size van, not the nostalgic Winnebago types of posters' earlier years. This after living in a company tract house in a small mining town that went belly up, although she seemed happy there. She drives from job to job, making short-term friends along the way. It's possibly the most depressing movie I've watched since Roma.


The acting is great.
