Director: Adelheid Roosen | Producer: Female Economy Foundation
Focus Years: 2009 | Country: Netherlands
Synopsis:
Adelheid Roosen's mother is in a large bathtub, sitting on the lap of
her other daughter, who is affectionately supporting her. The static
camera records the daughter's tender movements and the mother's
evident pleasure. In another scene, the mother is in the arms of her
son-in-law while they eat one chocolate after the other. In yet
another, we see the filmmaker herself filmed from above, her movements
being followed by the camera as she lies on the floor with her mother
-- both of them wearing incontinence diapers. The static camera
position makes these short scenes inescapable and powerful. Roosen
uses them to record and enter into the world of her mother, who is
suffering from Alzheimer's disease. It is a very visual, loving and
humorous attempt to gain an understanding of an elusive disease.
