On the Road (2015)

On the Road 2015 / 徘徊 ママリン87歳の夏 2015 / Haikai: Mamarin 87-sai no Natsu

The straightforward lifestyle of a woman with Alzheimer's Disease living with her daughter in the Kitahama district of Osaka City is depicted with a touch of humor in this documentary. Six years ago Sakai Akiko, who runs a gallery in her condominium, began living with her mother Asayo, who has Alzheimer's Disease. Asayo's day and night wanderings are well-known among the neighbors, and between those wanderings, mother and daughter often go out together to a local bar. Accompanying these two urges questions about what is old age and what is it to be human. (Source: JFDb)
