The invisible reeds

Charlotte Patron / documentaire / 52 min / 2025

When my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, insidiously and without really realizing it, I became his caregiver. Nothing had prepared me for this earthquake, least of all the idea that I was about to become my own father's parent. This film tells the story of a filial relationship put to the test by illness and death. Above all, it tells the story of a quest for love. That of a daughter who can't come to terms with the idea of losing her father.
