Cactus... animation by Fin McMorran.
One of a series of shorts about old ladies - women who quietly defy stereotypes and get on with things. The unnamed protagonist seems isolated in her rickety cottage, surrounded by modern flats and scyscrapers. But rather than lonely, she is resourceful, absorbed in her artwork, and surrounded by interesting objects. The outside world sees a vulnerable and unimportant person who can be teased and bullied...but art - kindness - have power.
