Maria, in her early 40s, commutes. After a few weeks in Romania, where she’s from, she has a long stay in Austria, where as a 24-hour-caregiver she lives with a senior citizen whom she takes care of. With empathetic objectivity, Maria Lisa Pichler and Lukas Schöffel portray the caregiver in a state of permanent conflict: between the desire to provide a livelihood for her family and the sacrifice she has to make to do so. It soon becomes clear that those who fill a gap in one place create a new one elsewhere.
