Synopsis
At the age of ninety-two, Isabella struggles to remember…
As she becomes ever fragile and her short-term memory begins to falter, her past is explored, questioned and brought to life.
Isabella takes us on a disjointed yet immersive journey that provides us not only a window into her life, but shows us a mirror to reflect upon our own.
How much of your life do you need to remember to remain yourself?
