Dance teacher and mother Nadja left her son Mario with her own mother when he was little. Now she has reappeared on his doorstep, seeking a closeness that knows fewer and fewer boundaries. An uncompromising film about family relationships.

A hauntingly fragile presence radiates from the screen as a mother attempts to bridge years of abandonment with suffocating affection. This unflinching portrait of maternal intrusion turns a simple reunion into a psychological tug-of-war.
