17-year-old Michal stuck at home watching over her grandmother, Tata, an Ethopian woman who is suffering from dementia.  When Michal learns her boyfriend has been given a 12-hour leave from the army, she wavers between seeing him and staying with her grandmother, and finds a surprising moment of connection with Tata.
