*Q&A after the film with director Madeleine Dallmeyer
“A true to life; positive view of a somewhat different way of caring for the elderly. Without playing down the seriousness of the issue, this film is a portrayal of a group of lovable senior citizens living in their own world.“ (B. Schneid)
"Village of the forgetful" (original title: "Das Dorf der Vergesslichen") tells the story of European Alzheimer's disease patients who are being taken care of by natives in a small village in Thailand. The movie illustrates the intercultural encounter of its' protagonists within the traditional thai village athmosphere in a tragicomical way. "Village of the forgetful" is the first feature-length documentary of director Madeleine Dallmeyer.
