Poignant and sad

Before I go to bed I must mention this movie, The Door, I just watched on Amazon Prime.  

When Emerenc, the central character of István Szabó's "The Door," sweeps the pavement to rid it of snow, she looks like she's fighting an enemy. Every sweep is fierce and deliberate and there's a determination to the old woman's movements that testifies to far greater battles she's fought in the past. By the time she's done, the snow has covered the pavement again — which for Emerenc doesn't mean defeat. It just means more sweeping. 

  

Looks like you can also watch the full movie here on YouTube.
