In her daily walks through the neighborhood, struggling with the limitations of her aging body, Mrs. Silva becomes the immigrant spirit of the Azores, of Portuguese, of America. Her quotidian courage to endure, to rise above, reflects the heroism of women everywhere. With inspiring dignity, Mrs. Silva's personal journey to the end of the lane, to the end of Portuguese diaspora, becomes a passage to the edge of the western continent, to the edge of history.
