Alberta wakes up alone in the chaos of her home, disoriented and unable to remember who she is. Her only tools to reconstruct her identity are scattered notes and video recordings of herself. She is silently fighting an early onset of Alzheimer’s disease: it’s a disturbing journey into memory, loneliness and identity, where horror becomes the visual expression of illness and loss.
