About film
A lonely intellectual Jewish grandfather prepares to celebrate the Sabbath together with his caretaker but is haunted by the ghosts of the past. This short but convincing Australian drama about old age dementia (which somewhat resembles the recent Oscar-winning film The Father) explains straightforwardly way that nothing on Earth passes without a trace, but that life is still worth living.
