Bank clerk Sven lives with his mother Edeltraut, who is suffering from dementia.

While he is at work, Daniel takes care of the old lady. But one day, Edeltraut takes off on her own and the two men go out looking for her.

What they find is not just Edeltraut, but also a tender fondness for one another, one which turns both of their lives upside down.

This gentle tragicomedy with a hint of melancholia was shot in 10 days with a budget of US $ 672.80.
