An 
company.
Lovely, simple piece, combing humor and gentle pathos as Bennett does so well.
A retarded woman in her late 20s is taken to see her father's grave by her mother and aunt. There, they encounter a young woman who's a photography student, dealing with her project to take photos at the cemetery. We quickly get a sense of the lonely life the mother has led raising her daughter, and the love and mild tensions with her never married sister,
There are some very funny side scenes as the photographer tries to get natural looking "candid" shots of the graveyard staff, but only managing to direct them into total stiffness. A young Jim Broadbent gives a wonderful comic turn as one of the attendants.
At the same time, the film very gently raises some real questions about the intrusion of art into people's private lives.
The acting is all quite fine, and the directing very simple and unobtrusive, but effective. In just 40 minutes Bennett does his thing of letting feel like we're eavesdropping on real life, and getting to know all these people very well in a very short time.
