Charlotte, in her early 70s, is not a woman to fool. With energy and assertiveness, she leads the family-owned company since the death of her husband. But lately, irritating incidents are piling up: Charlotte gets bumpy, forgets appointments and messes things up. Alone Katrin, the life partner of her son Markus, speaks out, what nobody wants to admit: Charlotte suffers from dementia. But even though she herself feels that something is wrong with her, the proud woman refuses any help. Until the situation threatens to escalate.

Charlotte Brüggemann, Anfang 70, führt mit Energie und Durchsetzungskraft seit dem Tod ihres Mannes das familieneigene Unternehmen. Neuerdings aber nehmen ihre Vergesslichkeit und ihre Aussetzer überhand: Charlotte leidet an Demenz.
