A battery-powered monkey wearing Santa boxers dances in the middle of the room to some sort of hiphop song. George stands to imitate it for his grandchildren. They laugh as Simone watches. She is so pleased. When it stops, she plays it again eagerly. Pressed by the kids, George does the dance again—but this time he’s tired, and we can tell that it won’t go on forever, and that’s heartbreaking.
