A warm, intimate seven-year portrait of familial love and aging, built from small moments and affectionate observation.

For seven years, Simon documents his visits to his great-aunt on camera. Amid absurd moments and glimpses into an eventful life, a portrait emerges of a woman who is as headstrong as she is endearing.
