Vieille femme à l'aiguille

An elderly woman sits by her window, knitting.
I always knew her this way.
I have only one 13-minute reel to film her.
I would like her to talk to me about time that passes before her eyes, of death that approaches.
She carefully tries to respond to this difficult question while the reel unwinds, irrevocably.
