Astrid is an artist and lives alone in Cologne. Her father Wolf suffers from dementia. Time and time again he disappears and gets into mischief. Astrid decides to take him in. Wolf turns Astrid’s life upside down. He demands her complete attention. She has no more private life and no time to paint. Her everyday life is consumed by Wolf’s stories from another time, from a different world, one that Astrid doesn’t know, nor does she want to know. But then something happens that causes Astrid to want to find out more about her father’s world of stories and memories. As a result, the two become closer. Astrid recognizes the richness and inspirational power in her father’s stories. And she starts to paint again.
