Your laugh would always make me happy, the young man whispers to his aged grandmother, Peege, who, now blind and helpless, seems almost to be awaiting death. This poignant film portrays a family's Christmas visit to their grandmother, a patient in a nursing home, and their sense of despair and isolation as they struggle to communicate. But when other family members leave the room, one grandson stays behind, touching his grandmother's hand and hair and reminiscing about Peege as a laughing, fun-loving person. The young man leaves, tearful and unsure whether he penetrated her loneliness. (official distributor synopsis)
