Frau Winkler verlässt das Haus

Cast: Angela Winkler, Laura Tonke, Josef Ellers
Synopsis: Mrs. Winkler (Angela Winkler) is elderly and seriously ill. She lives alone because her daughter Emi (Laura Tonke) can no longer care for her and doesn’t have enough money for a spot in a nursing home or in-home care. As a solution, her daughter decides to get an automated care assistant for Ms. Winkler. At first, Mrs. Winkler is skeptical of the robot, but over time she develops a certain affection for it. The care assistant can entertain and support her in ways her daughter cannot, due to her own obligations. Eventually, Mrs. Winkler even comes to see the possibility that the robot could assist her in dying, which offers her some comfort. (Source: filmstarts.de)
