One more quick house call on the way home and then finally closing time!
At least that's how easy the young doctor Dr. Seder imagines it when he knocks on the door of the remote forest cottage after a long day at work.
But the quirky old lady who is caring for her husband with dementia doesn't make it quite so easy for him. Inspired by the young man's unexpected company, the lonely woman greedily clings to his closeness and keeps delaying his departure.
Dr. Seder can hardly explain to himself that he is suddenly sitting in the old woman's beige wing chair with slippers on his feet and a steaming bowl of Aunt Gretel's pumpkin soup in his hand. But it has been a long day and the soup tastes delicious. However, the old woman's behavior becomes more and more encroaching, and for Dr. Seder the already disconcerting situation becomes increasingly unsettling. Even the soup suddenly takes on a peculiar taste....
