A landlord and her tenant find a language for loneliness that doesn't require words. Five episodes is all this show needs to convince you that the smallest moments, a shared meal, a quiet morning, the weight of someone noticing you exist, are the only moments that matter. The show moves at the speed of real life, which means it moves at the speed of healing. You won't get plot or resolution. You get the thing that comes after you've stopped needing them: the gentle certainty that you're not alone in a small apartment, and that's enough.
