After losing his Father, Luc must return to his childhood home for the funeral. Upon his arrival his Mother tries to embrace him, believing him to be her recently deceased husband. Luc quickly realizes that his Father had hidden the extent of his Mother’s Alzheimer’s in a futile attempt at saving Luc from the pain. In a panic driven fervor, Luc brings his Mother to his Father’s funeral in hopes that the shock will “snap her out of it”. After pushing his Mother to the limit, he realizes that the only way to save her is to let her go.
I Remember (Je Me Souviens) by Raphaël Pettigrew

"We drew a lot of inspiration for this film from American New Wave Cinema. The work of Barbara Loden, John Cassavetes, Shirley Clarke, and Robert Altman greatly informed our naturalistic and cinema verite approach. I have always been struck by the emotional honesty of the films by these filmmakers, and wanted to make sure my film struck the same chord. Idil and I were unwavering when it came to framing, we always wanted faces and we wanted them close, a raw and exposed look into the psyche of a desperate but well intentioned son. The haze I think was achieved by our focus on natural light, and the exceptional 35mm emulation done by Zack Chalmers, our colorist."
