Synopsis
“Mrs. Winkler Leaves the House” tells the story of Mrs. Winkler, 80 (Angela Winkler), and her daughter Emi, 47 (Laura Tonke). Mrs. Winkler has no one left but Emi; her beloved husband died very early on. She never fully emerged from her grief and has relied on her daughter throughout her entire life. When Emi accepts a theater engagement and can no longer take care of her mother, a care robot is brought in to take over. Mrs. Winkler feels abandoned — she is angry and hurt, and wants nothing to do with robots. Over time, however, an unexpected friendship develops between Mrs. Winkler and the care robot — who, as it turns out, is also programmed to end her life should her vital signs continue to decline...
