It is a beautiful, poignant story about this family, a single mother who lives with her daughter and the challenges she faces to look after her aging father as he suffers from a neuro-degenerative disease that makes him lose his memory and vision. How she manages to balance her work, relationships (personal equation with a friend when they become intimate) and the duties of a mother bringing up her child and looking after her ailing father who slowly seems to forget her.
Lea Seydoux is absolutely brilliant in putting up an emotional performance so vulnerable yet never giving up hope of trying her best. This is a very realistic film infact too real at times to be scary because eventually we will all be in the same boat sooner or later.
In one touching scene where she asks her boyfriend Clement to promise her that if she ever gets the same disease of memory loss like her father then he would euthanise her before she completely loses herself, is simply heartbreaking. This is a very real, humane story, not for the faint-hearted.
