At first Amy playfully deals with her Grandmother's dementia. This makes it easy for her to win at cards or get paid twice for her report. Even more when granny falls in love with Rinus. But suddenly Amy finds her granny lost and confused. This inspires her to instead help her Grandmother to reclaim a moment of happiness. Stolen Kisses is based on the true story of filmmaker Lidi Toepoel's aged grandmother Mientje, who lived in a nursing home with dementia and had a boyfriend there. The film shows what dementia does to people, their friends and family using a delicate touch, and underscores how elderly people with Alzheimer's are often unfairly dismissed.
