Altersheim

In a quiet, sun-dappled town, Altersheim follows the unexpectedly intimate aftermath of a community’s aging. A seasoned nurse and a skeptical younger caretaker navigate the delicate boundary between duty and compassion as residents reveal fragments of their pasts—long-held memories, quiet regrets, and bursts of stubborn joy. Through small rituals, shared meals, and hushed conversations, the film molds a humane portrait of endurance, connection, and the stubborn, hopeful pulse of life within walls that guard a lifetime.
