BELOVED TROPIC
Stage: Distribution.
SYNOPSIS
A tropical garden becomes the setting for the meeting of two solitudes: that of an upper-class woman whose identity is slowly being taken away by dementia, and that of her caregiver, a lonely immigrant with no support, isolated from the world by a terrible secret.
As their lives become intertwined, they develop a moving and unexpected bond.
