Synopsis
Tsvetana's daily routine consists of her work as a teacher of art history and caring for her mother Penka who was also once a teacher and now suffers from dementia. As summer comes to an end and winter approaches, their mutual dependence on one another begins to change: Penka gradually breaks away from her daughter, even if this happens almost imperceptible. The daughter continues running the household as usual, seemingly not aware of her mother silently bidding farewell.
