Description:
Emmi Kurowski, an elderly cleaning lady, feels isolated after her husband's death and limited connection with her adult children. Seeking companionship, she begins a friendship with Ali, a middle-aged mechanic from the Arab community, at a local bar. Their bond deepens into a romantic relationship, which draws criticism from Emmi's family and neighbors. This pressure forces Emmi and Ali to examine their own doubts about what lies ahead.
