Fariba, a devoted housewife in her sixties, has spent years caring for her elderly parents. Her mother, battling Alzheimer's, drifts further into forgetfulness, while her frail father relies on her for his daily needs. Though she has a home and life of her own, Fariba dedicates herself entirely to their care, sharing some of the burden with her brother, who steps in during the evenings. Yet, the weight of responsibility never truly lifts, as her parents' condition worsens with time. Her days are consumed with feeding, washing, and tending to them, but the emotional toll is far greater than the physical. She watches helplessly as her mother forgets familiar faces and her father struggles to maintain his dignity. Conversations become loops of repetition, filled with fragmented memories of a past that only Fariba seems to remember. With each passing day, her sense of self diminishes, lost beneath the endless cycle of caregiving. As exhaustion sets in, so does doubt. Once a woman with dreams of her own, she now finds herself trapped between duty and the fading echoes of the life she once imagined. Her brother, though present in the evenings, does not feel the same suffocating burden she carries. The walls of her parents' home become both a sanctuary and a prison, locking her inside a world where time seems frozen. With every meal she prepares, every bath she assists with, and every sleepless night she spends by their side, a question looms larger: At what point does devotion become self-erasure? Through intimate, unfiltered moments, Heritage offers a poignant reflection on love, sacrifice, and the unspoken cost of caring for loved ones. It presents no easy answers-only the raw reality of a woman navigating the delicate line between obligation and the quiet longing for her own freedom.
