This is a bittersweet chronicle of the last six months spent in a student apartment slated for demolition next year. It documents the intimate relationship between the widowed landlady and the last remaining male boarder, a young college student. Back then, he was still so young, he couldn't even fathom understanding a woman's feelings. Perhaps she simply wanted to be with him, and never even considered wanting his affection. These days, filled with the first spring breeze and leading up to graduation, felt both the longest and shortest of her life.
