The Usu­al

Gerda Beckert, a cheerful old lady, suffers from an early-stage of dementia. She lives an independent life, but recently, her moments of forgetfulness seem to increase. With her charms and her humor, she is able to succeed in tricky situations which confront her with her gaining memory loss. But the mental decline is inevitable.
