Spider and Rose is a 1994 Australian film about the relationship between an elderly lady and a young ambulance driver.
Although the film was marketed as a comedy, Bill Bennett says he never regarded the film as such, but a serious look at how we treat the aged.
It won the audience award at the Tromsø International Film Festival in 1995.
