Ukrainian Marija works in Germany as a 24-hour carer to support her family back home. Here she looks after Curt, who suffers from dementia, around the clock. When Curt's controlling daughter stays away due to an accident, Curt begins to think Marija is his deceased wife. In order to have her peace of mind, Marija plays along with the game and she realizes that this makes Curt feel better. But there is also Curt's son, who is more interested in Marija than in Curt.

Das fehlende Grau is the associative portrait of a young woman and the men who fall for her. Attracting attention comes naturally to her. Sometimes loud and shrill, other times childish and quiet, she bounces between extremes, shifting from attraction one moment to rejection the next.
