An elderly woman suffering form early stage dementia finds that although her short-term memory is failing, she can recall vivid episodes from her distant past. Fragments from her early life come flooding back – her childhood in the Middle East and then her later career as a treasure hunter – each memory reflecting back and illuminating her present day life in the UK.
This feature doc mixes archive and observational filmmaking to tell a story about families, shared memories and alternative histories.
