Synopsis:
This powerful documentary hit a chord with thousands of people – not just those who are dealing with a relative who has Alzheimers. The film was an unusual departure from Sue Bourne’s normal approach because she turned the cameras on herself and her family to make this documentary. Sue’s mother, Ethel, has Alzheimer’s and lives in a nursing home in Scotland. For three years Sue and her daughter Holly filmed the time they spent together with Ethel. The reason Bourne wanted to make this film was because everything that she had seen about Alzheimers had been terribly sad and depressing. Yet her experience with Holly and Ethel was that, in spite of her mother having Alzheimer’s, the three of them still managed to laugh and enjoy their time together.
The resulting film is an unusual portrait about what it is to live with Alzheimer’s - a funny, charming, quirky and sometimes harrowing record of how the family has managed to "fumble" along, making the most of their time together in spite of the ravages of Alzheimers' disease. It is a simple story of love and laughter – and of trying to make the most of what you have. Made all the easier by the personality of Ethel, who turns out to be the undoubted star of the film.
