Above all, the performance is excellent. Especially relevant is the reflection of loneliness and feelings in old age. In conclusion, it shows in its crude realism situations of social as well as family rejection, in the face of the autumnal romance of this free adult couple. The stigma regarding the exercise of sexual rights in old age could be explained given the provincial context.
Rights
Probably the feelings of guilt seem to qualify or influence decisions and the renunciation of love, a decision made by the female character. It seems that even in old age, or perhaps because it is at this stage, the erotic relationships that are established between the characters will not be exempt from both repudiation and questioning.
The question is whether such restrictions are usually given for sentimental, practical reasons or considering cost-benefit situations. For my taste, the characters were limited to defend their rights and their own lives. It is not difficult to understand the reason for this outcome. It privileges the rights of the rest of the family by overpowering those of both characters.
Conservative environments.
Consequently, the ending would be well qualified in conservative settings, such as the one portrayed in the autumnal and quiet American town Sacrifice, self-denial (denying oneself) is the voluntary renunciation of one's own desires, affections or interests for the benefit of others. A theme that can be found in works of all time.
Self-denial is a type of moral virtue that consists of spontaneous sacrifice or through the will of one's own interests, desires and even life itself in favor of others or everyone. It is a form of altruism that demands immolation, and creates social cohesion, if not pathological. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abnegaci%C3%B3n
