From Goethe Institut:

You are invited to the screening of German Film “Forget me not” at the Opening of European Documentary Film Festival 2014.

For the screening on the opening night of the European-Vietnamese Documentary Film Festival in Hanoi, the editor Catrin Vogt will be present and talk about “Vergiss mein nicht”.

In Forget me not, David Sieveking portrays the domestic care of his mother, who, like millions of others, is suffering from Alzheimer’s. David’s parents were active in the student movement of the 1960s and led an “open relationship”, which is now being tested in a dramatic way through his mother’s illness. The changes taking place within her forces the family to face its own conflicts and even teaches them how to deal with these conflicts more tenderly, bringing them all closer together. With humor and astonishing candor, David Sieveking’s family chronicle is characterized by unaffected participation and loving affection, where it is the human at the centre of the story, not the illness.
