A rather grim looking old man is alone in his apartment doing what he loves best--working on a crossword puzzle. However, into his very ordered and isolated life comes a knock on the door. The old woman living next door is looking for a word for her puzzle. Later, she returns again for help, then again and again. Each time, the clue she reads him relate to them becoming friends or spending time together. Despite her overtures, he seemed unshaken...at least for a while.

This is a sweet little romantic film. You just can't help but smile at how cute the lady is and how hard she tries to make emotional contact with the old grouch. Though a tad predictable, it's handled so deftly that you are left with a smile--satisfied at a job well done.
