Wei plot

Ruud Lenssen records the dementia and informal care trajectory of his parents. Father Jac has created his own little paradise: a hectare of natural land with horses, chickens and a vegetable garden. The pasture is his life's work and Jac is determined to continue caring for it. Especially now that he has been diagnosed with dementia. Nature and its animals give Jac comfort and support in an increasingly confusing existence. Mother Ria watches Jac's decline with sorrow. Her husband's worries grow and she has to give up more and more of her own life. Her feelings of love and caring regularly turn into frustration and loneliness. Nevertheless, she wants to take care of Jac at home, as long as she can. But as Jac tries to hold on to his paradise, an inevitable goodbye draws closer.
