No one imagined that Peter the Painter was sitting in a gallery in a snowy city waiting for his lover for decades. "Hello, Edith," he told her. Simple and without hesitation. As if he's used to it. As if he knew she would come. As if resting here just for a moment and waiting for her to come back from the grocery store. And his voice is happy, devoid of a hint of surprise. "To my haters I wish to look like you!" Grandma complimented him on her way, and the magical moment gripped and did not vanish. It all starts with one wintry morning in which Michal dares to "kidnap" Grandma Edith, who has Alzheimer's disease, and they embark on a stormy, painful and humorous adventure in Berlin. The crazy journey collides intermittently with dementia mists and creates a carpet of heartbreaking comedic moments. Only the memories of the Holocaust do not fade into the fog and actually sparkle in it. "Brave friendships between women, dreams and death - the materials from which life is made." - Translated from the back cover.
