Summary:The protagonist of the film is a middle-aged man who, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, in almost total solitude, takes care of his ailing mother. Closed in the circle of simple everyday activities, cut off from his family and previous life, he slowly fills the reality of the old woman with endless love. What hurts him most is the passivity of his relatives and the fact that their memory of the elderly is limited to objects and holiday postcards.
