An aged man suffers from dementia and lives alone since his wife recently passed away. Due to his illness, he has periods where he forgets about his wife's death but becomes confused and hurt when he remembers. He has surrounded his home with items from when his wife was alive and still dresses as he did then. When his daughter visits, he sees his dead wife instead of his daughter due to his condition. The daughter understands his illness and plays along with his confusion rather than alarming him with the truth. She supports her father regularly while also living her own life. The audience is impressed with her compassionate handling of her father's dementia.

2.  He is an aged man who suffers symptoms of dementia.
He is living alone. When his daughter visits him, in his
vision he pictures his dead wife who had died recently.
Due to his illness, he has periods of blissful
forgetfulness about his wife, but when reality hits him,
he gets confused and hurt by this realisation.
 He is stuck in a time period which he struggles to let go
of. In his home, he has surrounded himself with
everything just as it was before his wife died. His
behaviour, attitudes and dress sense are all relates back
to when his wife was alive. He wears a casual t-shirt
with a jumper, jeans and loafers. However, his style is
continued with his old age with his white hair, tired and
sad face.
 When his daughter visits him, two different perceptions
of her are shown. One from the camera (the audience’s
P.O.V) the other from the old man P.O.V. This will be

life and how others deal with someone with dementia in
their lives.

and cares deeply about her father. She understand the
full implications of her fathers illness and learnt to
accept the upsetting facts. Therefore she plays along
with how her father behaves. She reassures her father
when he gets confused and doesn’t want to alarm him by
telling him the truth or the real life situation.
 She is a modern day woman who visits her father
regularly but has to live her own life whilst supporting
him. Unbeknownst, to her she never really clicks on that
her father doesn’t see her as her daughter but as his
dead wife instead. She instead thinks that he is just
forgetful.

her father’s dementia in a compassionate and patient
way. However they also realise that life goes on for the
family and understand why she must leave.

mother.

mans perspective, therefore how he

top.

woman and through the interaction with
her husband, that they have been
married a long time as they are relaxed
in each other’s company.
