She is a young, beautiful woman, full of life and loving towards her three children: she goes to pick them up from school, takes them to play in the park, buys them an ice cream. Candida smiles. The same smile that, after a time jump of thirty years, we rediscover today on his aged face. It is always beautiful, but the gaze is absent, far away. Because Candida now has Alzheimer's. His children are adults and each has taken its own path. Now they are the ones who go to visit their mother in the nursing home that hosts her, walk with her in the park and offer her an ice cream. Moments of sweetness and suffering during which the children wonder about the best way to ensure a peaceful existence for the elderly and fragile mother. Candida remembers their names but barely recognizes them. Who knows if he is still able to grasp and share their emotions? Written by Rita Bugliosi See less
