Synopsis: A ten year old boy, Arjun, has to find a way to navigate his world when his grandmother, who has dementia, unexpectedly has to stay with him and his mother.
Supported by Alzheimers Society this short with a lot of heart brought us all to tears many times, and we are so proud of it. Following a festival run it will be shared by Alzheimers Society.
The amount of personal stories about family members with Alzheimers, and tears, that were shared by viewers already shows that this is a story that needed to be told - and a disease that needs to be talked about.
