Ah, these aunts (our mothers, grandmothers!) whom we think were born old with white hair. These women who offer tenderness with their hands, and songs with their mouths. These women who hide their own youth and their own secrets within them. The women who raised us and, inevitably, reached their sunset. Dionysoula, in the film, is one such woman. And she is lucky not to be alone. She has Mina and Elli, her nieces, in her life.
The two sisters have completely different personalities and priorities, but they must cooperate and make a difficult decision concerning their elderly aunt, who has just been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. However, when hidden family secrets come to light, everything changes.
The film "Don't Leave Me Behind" speaks in a special, touching, and humorous way about elderly people who face the problem of senile dementia.
