“My mother has no memory. But she has the words and the songs. And her hands, which keep picking and picking. I have a camera. I start filming to remember who she was.” In Mamma utan minne, Siri Ambjörnsson follows her family’s painful journey as her mother is struck by Alzheimer’s disease. What happens when the person who has always been the center of the family no longer remembers? Can love survive?
