The idea
A town narrates, as a collective we, the life of a reclusive Southern woman, moving out of chronological order until the final scene opens a locked upstairs room. The disordered telling is what makes the ending land.
In practice
A town telling one woman's life.
Where people slip
The chronology is scrambled for the ending.
