Una donna molto speciale (1996)
In una cittadina americana Mildred, vedova di mezza età, ha un figlio sposato e vive con l'altra figlia Ann Mary Margaret di ventitré anni. Le liti tra madre e figlia sono frequenti e, dopo un ulteriore scontro verbale, Ann decide di andare a vivere con il suo ragazzo. Per la prima volta Mildred si trova sola. Una sera la sua vicina di casa, la giovane Monica, le chiede di tenere il figlioletto di sei anni J.J. Mildred acconsente e a quella prima seguono altre sere al punto che tra la donna e il bambino si instaura un forte legame di fiducia. Nel frattempo Mildred comincia a frequentare anche Monica e quest'ultima le presenta durante una serata il camionista Big Tommy che comincia a corteggiarla. Mildred è lusingata e contenta, finchè il figlio Ethan le comunica che lui e la moglie intendono trasferirsi a San Francisco e vorrebbero portarla con loro.
