Synopsis
How can a person suffering from Alzheimer still tell herself her own life? When words are no longer there, only remain the sensations and the sounds the body remembers. In the community room of an Alzheimer clinic, a music coming from a radio triggers the dancing of an old lady in a wheelchair. Remembering the moves it used to perform, her body brings along a series of sound memories. Entirely drawn and animated from memory, A BIOGRAPHY reconstructs dot by dot this emergence of memory where it is no longer expected, in an effort to keep this body and this life from oblivion.
