"The Carer" (2016) tells the story of Sir Michael Gifford, an aging, ill-tempered, and distinguished stage actor who is battling a rare form of Parkinson's Disease ⁴⁷. He is resistant to having a full-time caregiver despite his declining health ⁴. Into his life comes Dorottya, an ambitious young Hungarian actress who dreams of making it on the English stage ¹⁶.

Ultimately, both characters hope their wishes—Sir Michael's to be left alone, and Dorottya's to achieve her acting dreams—will be fulfilled through their unusual companionship ⁶. The film was directed by János Edelényi and stars Brian Cox as Sir Michael Gifford and Coco König as Dorottya ³⁷.
