Movie Summary & Timeline
After a sudden accident, Ira faces the challenge of caring for her 80-year-old father, Robert, at home. Their relationship has been strained for decades, as Robert left her and her mother to start a second family. Determined to reconnect and take responsibility, Ira seeks to provide the best care possible. Due to the high cost and complexity of caregiving, she hires Elisaveta, an experienced caregiver from Eastern Europe, which creates tension with her husband Marquard, a career counselor with political aspirations who has never had a close relationship with Robert. Adding to the complexity, Ira’s younger half-brother, Bernd—a free-spirited artist who has never pursued steady work—arrives unexpectedly, bringing unresolved family dynamics to the surface.
Amidst personal and professional pressures, Ira navigates delicate family relationships, unexpected romantic encounters, and the challenges of balancing her own desires with responsibility. The story explores themes of reconciliation, trust, and the pursuit of personal happiness amidst complicated circumstances.
