When Sandro is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, doctors tell him he will eventually forget entire periods of his life. Before this happens, his son, the filmmaker Giacomo Boeri, asks his father to write about the most evocative memories of his life for Giacomo to stage and film. The results are beautifully executed, colourful and whimsical cinematic episodes, narrated by Sandro. Written with quiet humour, sharp wit and poetic observations, Sandro’s stories surprise his son and family and become a way to get to know a man who has not always been an open book. Interweaving family interviews, archival materials and Sandro’s memories, Giacomo spins a heartfelt and touching father-son story, illuminating the fragile threads of love, loss and remembrance that bind a family together.
