synopsis

The Covid pandemic cut off senior citizens living in homes from their families. In an attempt at understanding this isolation, the filmmaker decided to spend ten days with her camera locked up with them. In this newfound closeness to old men and women yearning for human contact, she sought out stories and wisdom.

After having spent several years volunteering at a rest home and two years after listening to a love story about a nurse and her client, the filmmaker spends eight days in a home for senior citizens. She wants to find out what forms love can take behind the wrinkles. To explore its recent forms, what memories remain, how it can be experienced. And to learn whether it is possible to depart without it or whether it is inevitable.
