Walther regularly visits his wife at her favourite place – at the lake. She has Alzheimer's disease. And every day, he tries to come through to her. Again and again he's striving for their love.
We follow him for a couple of hours, where he has to find a chance to get into her world. Every time, Walther tries to find a new way to get her to recognize him. And every time, he hopes today will be one of the good days. One small step after another – like a shy dance.
A short silent film that shows what love can do to one.
