Sinopse
'Conversations with my Aunt’, by filmmaker Janis Pugh, is an intimate portrait of her relationship with her Aunt. A relationship bound by the past struggling to survive the present as the effects of Alzheimer’s have transformed it to one of carer/patient. Shot over five days the film captures the repetitious routines and unpredictable behaviour caused by Alzheimer’s and how coping with everyday care brings conflict, tears and humour to their intense and often surreal relationship.
