This story follows Alice Martin (played by Lee Meriwether), a woman in her 70s-80s who lives alone now, but used to be a famous singer, a musical headliner who went down in history. She now refuses to make public appearances and has conversations with a deceased love (played by Susan Blakely) from her past. Her only real friend is a young volunteer girl who brings her meals and other things she needs. This young girl is an aspiring singer herself, and Alice helps her practice. But when her big performance night comes and she wants Alice to be there, Alice isn't sure if she can overcome her fear of feeling forgotten by stepping into the spotlight again. It was beautifully shot, great story and acting. It's incredibly long for a short film, and did feel quite a bit too long. It's a complete story with a satisfying conclusion, and the characters are very well developed and performed. It didn't necessarily take many risks or do anything unexpected, but I enjoyed it.
