Magdi (70), a strong-willed, but lonely caregiver faces a daunting reality as she grows older: She has cared for her severely disabled son, Feri (39), at home by herself all her life.

If she were to pass away, 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.

They take legal action against the state, demanding the court to order the state to fulfill its long neglected obligation and build small-scale care homes where their children can live dignified lives when the mothers will be gone.

“Your Life Without Me” is a story of the strength and sacrifices of these women who find their own voice through their community.
