Mrs. Ted Bliss

Dorothy Bliss, having buried her husband Ted, spends her remaining years in a condominium overlooking Florida`s Biscyane bay. Her character is illuminated not with action and plot twists, but rather with the mundane quotidian details of her life as an 80-year-old widow in the final stages of her own existence.
