- An elderly woman who is treated as a simple-minded invalid, periodically escapes to sit by the river and listen to the races on her radio. There she befriends Charlie, a woman who has come to seek a new life in the country.
- An older woman does not speak to her daughter and detests everything about her. The only solace is with her regular visits to the doctor who drops her off along the road to spend her day in the countryside alone. One day at her favorite place in the country the older lady meets a young girl who is having relationship problems with her boyfriend, and they share their bitter memories. These meetings become regular therapeutic sessions.—Archie Moore <ar.moore@student.qut.edu.au>
- An elderly woman who is treated as a simple-minded invalid by her family, periodically escapes to sit by the river and listen to the races on her radio.
