Doris Dörrie’s latest feature film tells the story of 80-year-old Mrs. Winkler and her daughter Emi. Mrs. Winkler’s world has narrowed to just one person – her daughter – after her beloved husband died very young. Over the years, grief has turned into bitterness. When Emi accepts a theatre engagement that will prevent her from caring for her mother, a robot caregiver is assigned to take her place. Feeling abandoned and humiliated, Mrs. Winkler initially rejects the robot entirely. Yet over time, an unexpected friendship begins to form. Can Mrs. Winkler finally confront her unresolved grief and find a way back to her daughter?
