Plot summary

After being physically attacked by his loving wife Carmen, a series of unsettling incidents lead her husband Pat to question just what is happening to her. It's only when Carmen can't find her own house one day, that she and Pat are ready to face the unimaginable: Carmen has early onset Alzheimer's. As her cognition deteriorates, and the time draws closer when Carmen will no longer even recognize her devoted husband, Pat finds refuge in the only place left that the disease can't reach -- his memories of their life together.

Highly recommended

This is a heartbreaking portrayal of dementia. It realistically details how this disease robs a person of life, and destroys loved ones too. A highly recommended watch!

Beautiful, but distasteful

This movie is incredibly beautiful visually, but that's all it has going for it. I'm sure this was an absolutely lovely book, but the movie does not portray these people as likeable or relatable, and even worse, makes jokes out of this horrible disease. I have worked with Alzheimer's patients in the past, and this depiction of those with it was frankly insulting. This would have benefited greatly from being a short film, as the vision for this movie was clearly focused around a few key scenes with the rest being treated as filler. I would highly recommend spending time watching a more informative film or other first-person account or better yet, just volunteering at an Alzheimer's center if you want to learn more or prepare yourself for the future if someone in your family has been diagnosed.
