Lost in Memories

The smiling man seen in archive photos has only very little left in common with the man in the film. Brain scans have revealed the onset of dementia and unfortunately there’s no hope of improvement. The middle-aged man in his green work clothes becomes increasingly touchy. He wants to continue running the farm that he has built, but in a few months he won’t be able to care for it. The entire family must come to terms with the situation and, with heavy hearts, they slowly sell all the animals and land. “It’s gone, but I can still see it,” says Jac sadly. The film initially tracks his fate, but, as the illness progresses, attention shifts to Jac’s wife, who becomes his nurse and faces difficult decisions.
