Magdi, a strong-willed, but lonely caregiver faces a daunting reality as she grows older: If she were to pass away, her disabled adult son, Feri would be left to the inhumane conditions of the Hungarian state care system, and would quickly follow her. Determined to secure a future for Feri, Magdi unites with a group of mothers who are in the same situation and they take legal action against the state. “Your Life Without Me” is a story of the strength and sacrifices of these women who find their own voice through the common fight and their community.

The film tells the story of a year in the life of a small town in Eastern Hungary, Tiszavasvár, in the period leading up to the 2024 local elections. Through the personal stories of five characters, it connects the changes that have taken place since the privatisation of the Alkaloida chemical factory, once the pride of the town, in the 1990s, with the current state of affairs in Hungary.
