It’s almost six years that my father is suffering from dementia and he is disconnected from reality. He is unable to remember faces and names. The disease eventually took away his independence so that I and my family became the feet, hands, and mind of my father. Through these years I was thinking about setting up scenes, shooting film and making a movie about this subject. It’s all about memory care and when I was looking through family portraits and old photo albums of my parents, I found so many attractive characters and incidents and weird emotions, that were already making a story themselves. So I focused on the pictures and used just three scenes that were filmed by a camera. My father’s disease composed with a minimal story and formed this movie. I dedicate this movie to my father and all the people struggling with it.
