Die Vergesslichkeit der Eichhörnchen
Ukrainian Marija works in Germany as a 24-hour carer to support her family back home. Here she looks after Curt, who suffers from dementia, around the clock. When Curt's controlling daughter stays away due to an accident, Curt begins to think Marija is his deceased wife. In order to have her peace of mind, Marija plays along with the game and she realizes that this makes Curt feel better. But there is also Curt's son, who is more interested in Marija than in Curt.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a delicate bridge between displacement and fading memory. It relies on subtle gestures and meaningful silence, exploring how a necessary fiction can become an act of profound care and discover its own emotional truth.
What lingers after viewing is a quiet, unsentimental warmth that grows in the most unlikely soil. A poignant reminder of the connections we forge when we meet in another's reality. — MovieFinder Editorial
