For quite some time, the pensioner Arthur (Günter Tolar) has taken care of his seriously ill wife. When the Hungarian caregiver Fabiu arrives at the door, his presence not only turns Arthur’s routine upside down, but also his emotions. The film deals in an extremely sensitive way with sup- pressed desire and the deeply human yearning for love, regardless of age.
