Abidance documentary film talks about the unusual quotidian that is shared by 3 generations: grandmother, mother and granddaughter.
The film takes place in a nursing home where the mother has been working for years. Grandmother used to be a headmaster of the same nursing home and she devoted her life to it. Now she is just one of the inhabitants. She doesn’t want to accept weakness of the old age. Granddaughter is trying to animate grandmother with her camera but their play is interrupted every time mother enters the room and reality becomes the main character.

Memories are built to keep Grandmother alive but her desire to leave is too strong. That brings out the question: For whom is harder, for the ones who want to leave us or for the ones who stay?
