"Mother was the loveliest woman in the world". "Mother wanted everything to be lovely". Using a series of embryonic lighting techniques, a lively piano-based score and a series of not altogether coherent mini-sketches, we are presented with what appear to be memories of a couple, of them falling in love, of her widowhood and then more courting. She looks lovingly from her window, pining for what she had, what she wants? She's even offered a bribe in the form of some stockings! It's impossible to say just what this is about in any traditional sense, and it's a surprisingly pace-free affair for the most of it's rather abstract existence which appears to emanate from the naive and/or innocent mind of our unspoken narrator. Toys feature quite heavily as props and at times that's quite effective, as is some of the almost temperamental action from time to time, but it's all too surreal for me, sorry.
