Synopsis
An octogenarian woman transitions to life in assisted living as she contends with her conflicting relationship to herself and her caregivers amidst her shifting memory, age identity, and desires.
Editorial
Confidently quiet, Sarah Friedland’s narrative debut is playful but direct in exploring the islanding effects of dementia. Lingering on life’s gladdening details—lily pollen on a varnished tabletop, the tracery of veins on cabbage leaves—serene camerawork finds silver linings in a shrinking world.
