Filmmaker Jason van Genderen explores the poignant journey of caregiving and sacrifice for our loved ones in this profoundly moving documentary. As he and his family adjust their lives to care for his mother, Hendrika, battling dementia, he accidentally turns her into an online celebrity on Facebook. Unfolding within the confines of their New South Wales home, providing an intimate window into their struggles, the film doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of dementia while also serving as a heartfelt tribute to the importance of family and love and a profound understanding of life’s vulnerability.
