Birthe Rasmussen built her entire life around her disabled daughter, Karen. Now her ability to care for Karen is called into question. An unwelcome letter brings things to a head, forcing Birthe to face her failing memory and the possibility of life without her daughter. A nuanced, sensitive film about aging, denial, and the difficulty of letting go.
