Present

A young woman returns home to care for her elderly grandmother, whose battle with severe memory loss and dementia blurs the line between past and present. What begins in the shadow of a funeral quickly unravels into a daily struggle as she navigates the emotional and physical demands of caregiving—managing confusion, repetitive questions, and the quiet heartbreak of watching a loved one slip away. Flashbacks of their shared past collide with the harsh realities of the present, amplifying the weight of responsibility and the slow erosion of identity. When her German girlfriend arrives, bringing both support and unintended tension, the fragile balance of caregiving is pushed to its limits. Frustrations mount, relationships strain, and the young woman is forced to confront the complex layers of love, duty, and resentment that caregiving exposes. Set against the backdrop of fading memories and shifting roles, the story explores the emotional toll of dementia—not just on the one who forgets, but on those left trying to hold everything together.
