A deep, personal portrait by Alan Berliner of his friend, cousin and mentor Edwin Honig, a poet living with Alzheimer’s. Filmed over five years, the film offers a sensitive and compassionate view of the illness, set within a life marked by love, loss, irony and literary daring. The result is a vivid portrait of a craftsman of words who, despite losing his memory and his command of language, still keeps a persistent spirit of play, a charming sense of humour, a sublime musicality and a deeply poetic soul. An essay on human fragility and on the profound role of memory in our lives.
