Clip description

Curator’s notes

Robbin Moulds is the wife of Paul, who runs the Oasis. This scene of Robbin looking for Haley is very moving. Her care and concern for Haley is obviously very deep and the relief Haley shows when she sees Robbin is palpable, even though she does not want Robbin to see her in that condition. When they embrace, it is incredibly heart-rending.
