Yet the memory of his wife's final wish gives him a purpose that outweighs the comfort of staying where he’s been placed. The prospect of fulfilling that wish becomes the catalyst for his departure. By heading for Hollywood, the old man seeks to honour his late partner’s last request. The journey represents both a physical and emotional undertaking, allowing him to move beyond the confines of the nursing home and to act on the promise that still binds him to his wife's memory.
