Director Statement
Forgetting (no matter because of Alzheimer, dementia or just denying past) can lead to a reduction of our reservoir of feelings, which makes as to human beings. For the elder man on the park bench there exist different memories unanchored in the continuous time line. These burred and cut memories release only reduced versions of past. Comparable with water which is no more connected with the ocean of memories bearing stranded ships which herold from something, what is no more here and waits to be drowned in an ahistorical present, the loss of remembrance, fading of time leads to a torn time line (called our life) and leads to leaps in the historical continuity, which is necessary for creativity and imaginative creation from present to future.
