SYNOPSIS
When Anna, an elderly village woman, is widowed, her daughter Iza, a big city doctor, believes that the best thing would be to take her mother in. But the relationship between Anna and Iza doesn't work out. Anna's life loses its purpose.
When Anna, an elderly village woman is recently widowed, her daughter Iza, a highly acclaimed doctor, quickly whisks her from her life-long home to a cold, big-city apartment to live with her and care for her. The seemingly selfless act of affection soon reveals itself to be a stifling and almost torturous experience for Anna. The underlying tensions and baggage of a mother/daughter relationship are amplified by silent gestures and martyred acts that burden each of them to the breaking point. Feelings of love and nurturing wither into uselessness and pain while other family members helplessly look on, ultimately culminating in a crisis with profound consequence.
