An Elegy to Forgetting documents a filmmaker’s experience with his father’s death due to Alzheimer’s disease.

The film delves into the importance of memories in the human experience – how the ability to remember makes us feel alive, how its power can hold us, and how memory gives us what we need to feel and be human.
