Stage of Production: Post-Production

Production Countries: Slovakia

Director: Eva Sajanová

Tagline:

No one ever asked her if she wanted to take care of someone. It was simply expected of her. And why is it so often daughters who end up taking care of someone?

Synopsis:

She just walked into the room, and she doesn’t know why she did it explores Alzheimer’s disease and the care of elderly family members from the perspective of a young woman, a family member “who doesn’t yet have to worry about it.” The short film-performance explores the dilemma of staying or leaving and the issue of unpaid care work through the metaphor of stones. Until when is a memory lapse funny and innocent, and at what point does it have the power to change absolutely everything?
