Don't Bother Me Now, I'm Dying

Synopsis:
Dorothy, an elderly woman, persuades her sister Rita to discuss double suicide. But when a couple of homeless teenagers break into their house, an odd friendship develops between the girl, Mellie, and Dorothy. Then Dorothy dies in her sleep, Mellie's baby dies soon after birth and Rita takes the pills that Mellie has supplied. An appealing tragi-comedy, both poignant and moving.
