About this piece

Marion's father tells a psychologist the regrets of his life

Summary

Marion Post (Gena Rowlands) is an accomplished philosophy professor who decides to take some time off to write a novel. She rents an apartment that is next door to a psychiatrist's office. As the walls are very thin, she can hear everything they say and soon becomes drawn to the stories that one of the patients, Hope (Mia Farrow), tells her psychiatrist. Those stories make her remember her past and her issues with her parents, family and friends. In a sort of dream sequence, she walks into the psychologist's studio, only to see the woman leave without even acknowledging her and then her old father walks in, sits down and tells the psychologist the regrets of his life.... Short monologue, about a minute.
