Richard and Ros’s Front Door

Ros pulls open the front door of her and Richard’s house to admit Catherine Cawood, shifting the scene from exterior chill to the tense warmth of the kitchen interior. Catherine passes through it into the domestic space heavy with family strife. Later, she exits the same way after Richard rejects any bond with Ryan, the door’s swing punctuating the standoff. It stands as the physical threshold where professional duty collides with personal grief.
