Mrs. Fang

Fang Xiuying

21st TDF: Greek Premiere

An elderly woman suffering from Alzheimer’s disease returns home after a long treatment period, which failed to bring results – or even relief. Relatives and neighbors, along with the discreet camera eye, become witnesses of her last days and partakers of the genuine need for love and dignity.
