Born to Suffer

Flora lives in a small rural town where she looks after her older relatives: something she has devoted a large part of her life to doing. She has also looked after her three nieces when her own sister died while still young. Now 72 years old, Flora worries that the three women - who left the village many years earlier - will put her in an old folks' home when she can no longer take care of herself. She heads off, accompanied by her simple, but well-meaning housekeeper Purita, to change her will -stipulating that the nieces can only have her house if Purita can stay with her until her death.
