Nina has a "running account" set up with the grocery store for the things that her Dad forgets to pay for.

I like how the cashiers didn’t make a scene as he walked out of the supermarket clutching a jar of coffee grounds, assuming they all know a familiar elderly man with Alzheimer’s lives across the street.

His reaction when everything turns white is quite accurate from what I've witnessed working in dementia aged care. People with dementia can't quite identify objects or features as anything and they often panic and freeze where they are until someone rescues them. I looked after a lady who found herself stuck in a corner because every time she tried to leave the corner she got to confused and just turned back around. Its a very abstract yet accurate depiction

I knew it was alzheimer's the second he wanted to buy the coffee himself.  My dad has alzheimer's and its crazy how they put the perspective of somebody with alzheimer's and how they'd feel. Incredible and informative short film.

It made perfect sense the deterioration of this sweet old man's mind, was represented visually as white fungus that grew over his landscape, to the point where he found himself in no-man's-land, lost, alone, confused until the fogginess cleared as his daughter's voice reassured him.

Two nights ago, I met an old persian man outside my apartment who couldn't find his home. With a lot of help from neighbors, and a phone call from his daughter, we were finally able to bring him home. This must have been how he felt that night... It is so difficult and frustrating for bother the person suffering the illness and their family...

I remember one day I was hanging out with my Grandpa... and he was at that point in where he couldn’t recognize or remember who his family was but he still felt comfortable around us. Anyways, I remember my aunt walked by and he tapped me in the shoulder and said “That is your aunt Cielo, my daughter! Don’t forget that! :)” and I was really young and giggled and told him “You don’t forget that Mon!”

Now that I’m older, when the memory flashes through my head I feel like it was more like a plead for help to help him not forget... but in a sad way. I’m just so glad I was one of the very few grandchildren who didn’t find him annoying when he told his great stories, he was very happy when I would Retell them to him during the mornings and say “ah! Yes! I remember that!” Sadly he passed away a couple years ago but I’m so greatful my very young self was so passionate to bond with my grandfather even tho I only saw him 2 weeks per year. :)

I like that Alzheimer is represented in this film as more than just forgetting stuff. It is a disease that hurts families and makes people don't feel that they have control. I haven't met people with Alzheimer yet, but I consider this a good story to talk about this hard topic.

I like how simple and true the story is. A beautiful depiction of someone trying to live his life despite his condition, and actually failing - and there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with that. You can't always win your battles but you can let other people be there for you when the world is just too much. The key is to know where to draw the line.

This is the first time I have seen disorientation depicted so poignantly.  This is exactly how I imagine it would be.  What a brilliant short film.  Alzheimer's and Dementia  are two of the most heartbreaking diseases that can happen to a person.  Thank you for this such a brilliant animation.

The music really makes the animation sad yet beautiful.
Seeing how Alzheimer's works really hurts

this man is lucky because he has a daughter who takes care of him..but there are many abandoned alzheimer people living alone.
god saves us from losing our minds. amen.

Did they ever pay for that coffee?

C'est fou, quand je parle de l'Alzheimer de ma grand-mère, je dit toujours que son monde se "dissolvait". C'est exactement ça.

They show really well how the characters feel without them having to talk by their facial expressions. It really shows that he’s tired of his daughter doing everything for him and telling him what to do that he wants to take charge but soon realizes how much he really needs her

I don’t usually comment on YouTube videos. But for some reason this popped up in my recommendations.
My father is currently dealing with dementia. It breaks my heart every day. He wants to be able to do the things he normally does, but it’s easy some days for him to become lost and confused. I’ve never been close to him but now I feel like I am losing the opportunity to know him and have him know me in return. Treasure your loved ones. Even if you don’t always get along or see eye to eye. There may come a day when you’ll wish you’d not been so stubborn.

im personally really scarred of alzheimer, the thought of finding yourself in nothingness is so horrible

This made me tear up. Beautiful animation full of heart.

My mom had Dementia... I like the way this story was told.
