The Neighbors' Window is a 2019 American short film written and directed by Marshall Curry.
The film was inspired by a true story by Diane Weipert, which she recounted on the podcast Love and Radio.
Alli and Jacob both covertly spy on the couple, bitter about their loss of youth and new responsibilities as parents.
Shortly after, while Jacob and the kids are out, Alli spies across the street again to find the man in hospice; he dies soon after.
The woman reveals that ever since her husband became "sick," they would find comfort in watching the family through the window, much in the way Jacob and Alli did.
