    Synopsis

    Nonna lives alone in southern Italy, maintaining a house that she and her husband built after more than three decades of guest work in Germany. Since her husband died, she has been running a two-storey bed and breakfast on her own, which has seen better days. Her daily routines are marked by hardship and disappointment: the hard work doesn't get any easier with age. Her children and grandchildren remain in Germany. Video calls with her them keep her connected. The distance to her family is vast, and the connection is often poor. What to do with a legacy that no one wants?
