Geriatric carer Lea loves her job and uses imaginative role-plays to help her patients bring lost moments back to life. When the unusually young patient Hedda arrives and Lea is reminded of her own mother, she begins to overstep professional boundaries. What starts out as particular closeness and empathy, develops into a reality created by Lea herself, in which past and present, care and personal need, role and identity become inextricably interwoven.
