Peege
- 1974 ----- color ----- 28 min ----- 16mm
- A young man home for Christmas accompanies his family to visit his dying grandmother in a nursing home. Peege (the grandmother's nickname) has gone blind and has lost some of her mental faculties. The visit is awkward, because none of the family know how to deal with the non-responsive shell that was once a vibrant woman. When they find an excuse to leave, the young man remains with her for a few minutes. He tries to trigger some response by whispering into her ear some of his early memories of her. His efforts succeed and when he leaves, she is alone again. . . but now with a feeling of worth, knowing that someone cares.
- Topics: (Family Life, Gerontology, Psychology: Social, Women Studies)
