Der Tag, der in der Handtasche verschwand

The Day that Disappeared in the Handbag

Mrs. Mauerhoff has an uncanny feeling. Whispering insistently, she tells of something incredible happening. What she doesn’t know is that she is losing her memory and lives in an old-peoples-home since recently. The filmmaker with her camera seems to be her accomplice and Mrs. Mauerhoff maintains a constant dialogue with her. She wanders about in a labyrinth of hallways unknown to her and wants to go home. The things happening to her appear odd to her : busy nurses claim that she lives in one of the rooms in this strange house - but she has never seen this room and so she gradually begins to suspect a collective conspiracy. Due to her confidence in the camera, her charismatic personality and her poetic language, Mrs. Mauerhoff is able to provide a disturbing insight into the unsetting world she lives in.
