Synopsis
Amid the haze of fading memory and shifting desires, Ruth, a retired cook, quietly navigates her transition to assisted living. With grace, wit, and the enduring threads of her identity, she deals with her changing sense of self and her bonds with those who care for her. As her surroundings grow unfamiliar, something unexpected begins to take shape - what if we glow most warmly at the edges of memory?

“Radical in its quiet honesty, breathtaking in its dignified compassion”
“ A performance so precise and restrained... One of the most honest, heartfelt performances of this or any other year in motion picture history”
