Hanna Korszla, one of Italys 1,700,000 immigrant carers, has lived in the Salento for three years, looking after Antonio - who is over 80 and suffers from Alzheimers - day and night. Violka, her 19-year-old Polish daughter, is out of work. She takes on Hannas role as Ntonis carer, enabling her mother to return to Poland to visit family. There Hanna comes to terms with a difficult past and a problematical present, while Violka, extremely young to look after such an old man, gets to grips with a stay in Italy which is anything but a holiday.
