Spoilers ahead
Rose Collins, portrayed by Susan Sarandon, unexpectedly encounters an old high school friend while out shopping in the bustling streets of New York City during the holiday season. Their brief conversation reveals Rose’s marital status and her large family, but it’s evident that there’s an underlying discomfort as she quickly bids farewell. Soon after, we find Rose entering a hospital, where she heads down a corridor to visit her mother, Helen (Una Kay), who is in a state of advanced Alzheimer’s, vacantly sitting in bed. In a touching gesture, Rose brings Helen some thoughtful gifts and gazes into another room, noticing a lonely, comatose patient. Driven by compassion, she decides to spruce up the stark space by hanging an angel figurine on the window.
