"Vergiss mein nicht" - by David Sieveking, 88 minutes 2012
Gretel, filmmaker David Sieveking’s mother, suffers from dementia. To lighten the burden on his father, the son takes care of the old lady on his own for a few weeks. At the same time, he works on a film about her and her story, which now also includes the Alzheimer patient’s increasing shortcomings. A breach of taboo? Should one be allowed to capture on camera this intimate closeness within the family, even if they agreed to the film, and make it public? VERGISS MEIN NICHT has a clear answer to this question.
