beautiful

I saw it as a profound personal film. Not only for the subject - my granmother struggled with Alzheimer syndrome. But for its music and for its beautiful translation in images. It is a tool more a film. Because it suggest more than it presents. Memories, fragments of stories, the fragility of memory, the fight. And it does that in brilliant manner. So, yes, it could be defined a manipulative film. But not for its art but for its science to give yourself to you in subtle - precise manner. That defines it as a special short film.
