Synopsis

A reflection on the meaning of life and the inexorable familiarity with death. Narrated in the first person and based on the story of her mother, the director approaches the disease that affects approximately 25 million people in the world today: Alzheimer's disease. Alternating images of her mother, with reconstitutions with actress Laura Cardoso of the initial phases of the disease, and pictures of the family, the documentary shows an account of the devastating consequences of this degenerative disease in the patients and family.
