A dark shadow hangs over Daniel's family. His mother Mora, a once gifted visual artist, inexplicably gave up painting years ago. Now her forgetfulness and increasingly bizarre behaviour has everyone worried. Mora is diagnosed as having Alzheimer's disease, the brain disorder that causes early senility and memory loss. As Mora's condition rapidly deteriorates, Daniel questions whether the disease has been passed on to him and, in turn, to his own son. Did his mother's fear of Alzheimer's cause her to abandon her art 20 years earlier? Has that same fear taken hold of Daniel, causing him to stop making films? Daniel is desperate to find the answers. But he must race against the clock, as he feels his mother slipping through his fingers.
