Synopsis

Roberta, a spry young woman, is embarking on a cruise, but she can’t find her husband. Also, she’s annoyed to be surrounded by old people with walkers, and she has to babysit all these kids whose parents are nowhere to be found. Oh, and she doesn’t recognize the furniture in her apartment. Perhaps the woman on the phone can help her figure it all out, and also get her a frankfurter. In short, it’s a surreal expression of how life feels for someone with dementia.
