Synopsis

Elzbieta has been taking care of her mother for years. When the mother passes away, Elzbieta's only child Marta flies in to help with the cleaning out of her grandmother's apartment in Lodz, Poland. Marta has been living in Amsterdam for the last 10 years and has eventually made it her home. While going through the aged objects in the grandmother's house, Elzbieta and Marta start thinking about the future. It becomes apparent that the issue of care-taking is shifting towards the following generation. Is Marta going to be able to take care of her mother when the time comes and does Elzbieta expect that of her?
