Synopsis :
Dalam Vergiss Mein Nicht, David Sieveking menggambarkan perawatan domestic ibunya Gretel, yang seperti jutaan orang lainnya, menderita penyakit Alzheimer. Orang tua David dulu aktif di dalam pergerakan mahasiswa di tahun 1960an dan berlanjut pada hubungan terbuka di antara keduanya, yang sekarang secara dramatis diuji melalui penyakit ibunya. Perubahan yang terjadi pada sang ibu memaksa keluarga ini untuk menangani konflik mereka sendiri dan bahkan mengajarkan mereka cara-cara baru untuk mengkespresikan intimasi perasaan dan pengalaman mereka. Dengan humor dan ketulusan, perjalanan keluarga David Sieveking dikarakterisasikan oleh partisipasi yang tak dibuat-buat serta kasih sayang, dimana manusianyalah yang berada pada pusat cerita, bukan penyakitnya.

In Vergiss Mein Nicht, David Sieveking portrays the domestic care of his mother Gretel, who, like millions of others, is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. David’s parents were active in the student movement of the 1960s and led an “open relationship“, which is now being tested in a dramatic way through the mother’s illness. The changes taking place within the mother forces the family to deal with its own conflicts and even teaches them new ways to express their feelings and experience intimacy, bringing them all closer together. With humor and candor, David Sieveking’s family chronicle is characterized by unaffected participation and loving affection, where it is the human being at the center of the story, not the illness.
