Because she doesn’t want to do this, she tries to get Fóns into a nursing home as soon as possible. Unfortunately, her plan does not go as expected and several events cause Lisette to suffer from her conscience. The film questions Lisette’s psychology as she is caught between love, duty and her own freedom, stuck in circumstances exacerbated by stressful bureaucratic obstacles in our society.
