Brief Synopsis:

Gilda is a middle-aged woman, mother and wife. One day she realizes she’s having problems setting the table. These are her first symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Through found footage and poetic visions, the stages of her illness become a stream of images on the breach of oblivion. Memory transforms into a shaking kaleidoscope, a dreamlike world. Standing in front of her own disintegration, Gilda’s only foothold to reality is love. This short film was inspired by one of the two directors’ family history. The protagonist, who suffered from Alzheimer’s and died in 2018, was Fabio’s mother. Working together for 4 years, the directors narrate the disease from Gilda’s point of view, allowing her to express herself through the words she lost.
