What happens when someone dies & there's no record of any next of kin? "Pursuit of Loneliness" looks at that deeply personal & interpersonal question when an elderly woman dies anonymously in a county hospital. Four central characters - a nurse, a social worker, the emergency contact person listed on the admission form, and an investigator for the public administrator - try to find the deceased woman's family over the next twenty-four hours. Slowly but surely we watch as her belongings & personal effects are gathered & accounted for and we witness the bit-by-bit eradication and extinction of an individual. In a world that values possessions & comparative wealth, this is a cautionary tale of the preciousness of community & the importance of family.Trailer HERE
