Absence means heartbreak and lack. A kind of inner turmoil then sets in, which often leads to a personal quest. At the origin of the film is the director's intimate drama of seeing her mother, suffering from Alzheimer's disease, drift away from her as her memory fades. This apprehension of a coming separation serves as a link to other beings struggling with a form of absence.
