Synopsis by Sandra Brennan

In this sentimental drama, an elderly woman lives a lonely life in a German apartment. Her only companion is Chico, her little dog. The poor woman is so crippled with arthritis that she is a shut-in and must have her food and supplies brought to her by a delivery boy. When she learns that one of the boy's other customer bears the same name as her estranged half-brother, the woman becomes obsessed with finding out if it is really him. She is totally surprised at what her investigation reveals.
