What place should we give to love when we learn that we only have three months to live? Anja (43) lives with Tomas (59) and their children. As the years have gone by, they have gradually grown apart. After a medical examination, Anja is diagnosed with a brain tumour. This terrible news will shake up the family ties and rekindle the flame of this neglected love. This film was selected at Toronto – TIFF 2019 (Discovery) and at the Berlinale – Berlin IFF 2020 (Panorama)
