In a closed ward of an elderly home in Amsterdam, some old people with dementia in a far advanced stage, spend their last days, often in loneliness. They hardly seem to remember where or why they are. Once in a while they are visited by two young music therapists, who make contact with them through music. The vitality these old people nevertheless still possess, awakes. The possibilities of their body and mind become visible in intimate and intriguing moments.
