This Flemish short film got a lot of attention on it's initial release, and rightly so. It is in a small masterpiece, to say the least. The story is simple, but wonderfully executed. It deals with an elderly couple, and the ordeals they go through when the wife is becoming senile. The mood of the film is very relaxed, almost dreamy. The scenes are always short and very recognisable. You can practically see your own grandparents in their daily lives as they go for a walk, cook and watch TV. A remarkable effort from first-timer director Lieven De Brauwer, who handles the material with a solid hand, right trough to the unavoidable and tragic ending. Unmissable for every short-film lover.
