- A lonely old man, a World War II veteran taken ill with Alzheimer's disease, and the Nurse, Mia, tending to him in Hospital. This becomes the dominant setting off the film, and the only place the Old Man will ever come to visit again. We see his life between the unblemished walls has simmered down to nothing more than a memory, his transition to the Hospital is uneasy, his incurable disease adding to the confusion and fear in his sterile new environment. It is presumably only the care of Mia the only comfort he receives that keeps him alive through these time bending, reflective end times. Half of the film revolves around the nameless Old Man, whose past is revealed to have more trauma than just the War. He had a Wife, a Son, but now they seem to have disappeared, leaving him to face his final days alone. Their whereabouts unknown, until the film begins to unfold. One thing perhaps that is missed from the War, the comradely. Mia is no stranger to trauma herself, and it is her story that kick starts the film. She is only young, never specified, but around 20years, a little over perhaps. A glimpse into childhood shows her life has already been littered with problems, including an abusive Father figure and a teenage experience with self harm. One cannot fault Mia for accepting her experiences and becoming a Nurse, with the honest aim to aid. She has succeeded in the face of adversity, however, her past has certainly stayed with her, showed evidently in her daily Cocaine sniffing routine in the Staff Washroom on the Ward. She is in terrible debt. It is suggested she is a Mother, and therefore a single Mother, being that she's only seen alone. For Mia, life is hard. She finds a certain solace in the Old Man, maybe it's a case of silently sharing in each others pain, while simultaneously being ignorant of each others true situation. This predicament is at the heart of their relationship.
