Description

A young man visits his boss's senile grandmother in the nursing home. He is supposed to obtain her signature on a backdated purchase contract so that his boss can acquire her house. The boss prefers to stay away due to irreconcilable differences with his grandmother. As the grandmother becomes increasingly forgetful, it should be easy for his employee to persuade her to sell the house at a bargain price. However, this older lady is not at all as passive as assumed. Talkative and unyielding, she engages the employee in conversations about memories of the past, causing the young man, increasingly irritated, to become entangled in contradictions. The story unfolds, and just as little as the envoy expected complications, the audience does not suspect what unexpected twists the witty dialogue between these two contrasting characters will take.
