SYNOPSIS

Left with nothing but a rundown house to keep her off the streets, a mother who works as a carer is in no position to comply with her daughter's request for money. When her daughter realizes her mother is ineligible even for a bank loan, she is forced to move into her mother's house together with her lesbian partner. Thrown into an incredibly awkward and uncomfortable situation, the mother directs all her energy into her job as caregiver in a nursing home. However, she cannot help but see her own future and that of her daughter in the experiences of an elderly woman she tends to in the home alone, in poverty and suffering from dementia.
