In the poetic film, Linn Karen Forland depicts the inner world of an old woman -a resident of a nursing home. There're plenty of surprising associations, surreal pictures and saturated fairyland colours. Before us appears the rapturous scene of an old woman at the end of her life. There're angelic little girls, flowery meadows, pink balloons, troubadour violinist, and shameless baths in popcorn. Old age and childhood meet in a magic circle forming a symbolic unity. However, these idylic pictures are reaptedly juxtaposed with the reality of life at the home for the aged: with its gaping empty corridors, perfunctory nursing care and lonely life in seclusion.
