Dementia Canterbury have four double passes to giveaway to the movie ๐˜๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ณ ๐˜›๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ.

Directed by Sarah Friedland, ๐˜๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ณ ๐˜›๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ is a movie for anyone who has felt themselves change, but never disappear โ€“ a coming-of-old-age story.

Amid the haze of fading memory and shifting desires, Ruth, a retired cook, quietly navigates her transition to assisted living. With grace, wit, and the enduring threads of her identity, she deals with her changing sense of self and her bonds with those who care for her. As her surroundings grow unfamiliar, something unexpected begins to take shape โ€“ what if we glow most warmly at the edges of memory?

Dir. Sarah Friedland | 2024 | USA | 92 mins | Rated PG.
