Summary:
An old woman will no longer leave her house, not even on
Christmas
. She prefers to stay home, rather than take the risk of falling or coming down with a cold. She settles into the solitude and isolation of her safe, interior world. But just as she's about to enjoy a peaceful dinner in front of the TV, her doorbell rings. This is a touching story about overcoming fear and the role of chance in life.
