Overview
"In a thematic retelling of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart," a man is forced to bring his elderly mother home from her nursing home after she is evicted on grounds of non-payment. She has severe dementia that gets worse the longer he attempts to care for her, and eventually he begins to wonder if she would simply be better off dead. "Dolores" explores themes of grief and guilt before a loved one's passing, the role of men as caregivers, and a broken healthcare system that abandons the elderly at their most vulnerable state." -- Abstract
