Ontdaan plot
Unconventional documentary about the phenomenon of dementia. Director Ton Koole lived for two months among a group of demented elderly people and recorded the life around him. In “Getdaan” he wants to unravel and demythologize the reality of demented people. The film shows people with dementia as complete people who, albeit in a way that is difficult for non-dementists to comprehend, carry and experience all facets of life. Not the problem, but the reality of people with dementia comes first. A reality in which failing memory predominates, in which inhibitions and conventional manners disappear.
