Synopsis

 Dragonfly is the story of two neighbors who strike up an unlikely friendship, not always to the approval of others around them. Seeing the lack of care that her elderly neighbor Elsie is receiving from so-called professionals, Colleen takes it upon herself to care for her, finally finding a meaning and purpose in life. Her motivations are questioned, which leads to many shocking situations. It is a film about our relationship with the elderly and how we see them in our lives.
