A HISTORY OF TRUE LOVE
My name is ALBA
a film by Jonathan Cortes
Synopsis
Alba take care or her Mother, who suffers from Alzheimer. She dedicates 100% of her time to it and she's convinced that nobody else can do it as she does it, refusing even help from others. Whereby, she has slowly moved away from the outside world, ignoring that this endangers not only her integrity, but also her mother well-being.
Director Statement
My name is Alba is a tribute to the caregivers of Alzheimer's patients. People who do the beautiful job of taking care their loved ones at a daily basis without expecting anything in return. Little has been said, in the cinema, about these people despite that they are exposed to different physical and/or psychological diseases during the care and even after the death of the patient. Therefore, I consider the film as a great opportunity to give another point of view on Alzheimer's disease.
