Karla is a crafty second grader who loves drawing, her best friend Nele, and, most of all: spending time with her grandmother – who, more and more, keeps mixing up dates and seeing things that don’t exist. Despite her young age, Karla understands what everyone else around her doesn’t seem to: while her grandmother’s perception might be different, it feels just as real.

When she overhears her mom, Astrid, talking about a nursing home, she understands the impending threat. Proof is needed to avoid losing her grandma, but Karla’s plan doesn’t go unnoticed.
