Scatter My Ashes on the Beach in Denmark - before Anne B. Ragde can fulfill her mother's last wish, many long months of waiting pass. Months in which Anne sits by her bed and experiences the conditions in the nursing home up close. Months in which she sometimes only wishes for a quick, peaceful end for her mother. Months in which she listens to her, to stories from the past, from Anne's childhood, but also from her mother's youth, about her dreams and desires - and gradually, like a puzzle, the picture of a truly extraordinary woman emerges: strong, weak, loving, strict, eccentric, completely normal - the picture of a mother.
