Die Ehre meiner Eltern

Father (78) is suffering from dementia, mother (72) is in a wheelchair. These are the parents of Benedikt Fischer, the director of this film. Both have lost those capacities which used to be their strengths. The formerly agile mother can only use one leg and one arm, the highly intellectual father can now only laugh or cry. "Honor your Father And Your Mother" is one of the Ten Commandments. But why honor such old and sick parents who cannot live now without help the whole day long?

In early life parents are naturally the first role models, their influence can last a whole lifetime. But do role models have to be perfect? And when do you start questioning them? The author sets out for a biographical journey through time with his parents to find out. A film about growing up, age and dignity.

(The alternate version "Meine Eltern" (My Parents) was nominated for the PRIX EUROPA 2009 / TV Documentary)
