Whilst a director is completely involved in the making of a new and successful film, his loving mother Gógó begins acting strangely. Little things at first, like getting lost, forgetting to turn off the stove or bursting into anger. But when she forgets to turn off the water and floods the neighbour's apartment, Gógó must face the truth: Alzheimer’s. A word like a stage curtain that falls before the play is over. Her son’s problems suddenly pale when he realizes that he is losing the person closest to his heart. As Gógó retreats from the present, she finds herself returning more and more to a cheerier past, to a time when she was young and beautiful and happily in love. (official distributor synopsis)
