Birita has been a legend in the theatre on the Faroe Islands. She has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, but is nevertheless set to perform in the play King Lear.
Her son, Búi, wants to put on the play, and he is the director both of the play and of the film we are watching. Birita's memory is fading, and she needs help with daily tasks. Her devoted husband helps her, and together they take on the role of King Lear. The film raises questions about the ethics of letting Birita perform, but Búi believes that the theatre has been her life, and that this matters most. With cinematography capturing the beautiful and slightly mystical landscape of the Faroe Islands, Búi frames this moving film.
