SYNOPSIS

[EN] This is a portrait of my grandmother Shou Ai Xia who suffers from dementia. She worked for the Chinese Communist Party for over forty years. The documentary captures two intertwined worlds that she inhabits in a poetic way. One is a fading ordinary world. The second world is hallucinate resulting from Lewy body dementia. In this world, she demonstrates her gratitude and ideological commitment. The documentary considers both the revolutionary passion of her youth and the drawing of life into a quiet, gradual close.
