LOUSY: Love in the Time of Dementia
What’s the story?
LOUSY is a fifteen minute long documentary about my parents’ dementia.
It has shattered the family routines while strengthening the connections between us.
This documentary is more than a clinical discussion piece about dementia; it’s a meditation on youth and aging.
We’re the generation that is watching our parents, we see what’s ahead, and can reflect on what we want for ourselves.
