Synopsis
Magdi (70), a strong-willed but lonely caregiver, faces a daunting reality as she grows older: if she were to pass away, her severely-disabled son, Feri (39), would be left to the inhumane conditions of the Hungarian state care system, and would quickly follow her. Determined to secure a dignified future for Feri, Magdi unites with a group of mothers in the same situation. They take legal action against the state, demanding small-scale care homes for their children. Led by Magdi, the resilient community battles the cold absurdity of state bureaucracy, coping with loss and setbacks along the way. Winning the case is not only about justice, but providing a chance for the boys to live, when their mothers will be gone.
Your Life Without Me is a story about the strength and sacrifices of these women who find their voice through their community.
