Full Synopsis

Eighty-eight-year-old Omama, who lives in rural Hungary, has one greatest wish: not to wake up the next morning. Her grandson Martin, a filmmaker living abroad, returns home in the hope that they can still get to know each other. Through their intimate and unexpectedly humorous encounters, the film explores ageing, social inequality, mortality, and care across generations.
