SYNOPSIS
‘Old’ Miles is on his regular trip to a quiet corner of his local cemetery, to visit the cenotaph and to remember. ‘Young’ Jo is only passing through and will be content to not ‘get done’ for just being there.
The story provides a glimpse into a brief meeting which arrived from nowhere but yet, could lead to somewhere. Where taking the time to chat, to explain and to understand without judgement can open doors which should never have been allowed to close.
It illustrates that innocence is not the reserve of any particular age and appreciating what winning and losing really mean, can bring prizes beyond expectation: it can bring understanding.
'The Cenotaph' is a brief and gentle story of age, encounters and new friendships.
Running Time: Approx 20 minutes.
