About 'Wei'
Wei is a documentary by Ruud Lenssen in which he captures his parents' dementia and informal caregiving journey. Father Jac has created his own little paradise: an acre of natural land with horses, chickens and a vegetable garden. The pasture is his life's work, and Jac is determined to continue caring for it, especially now that he has been diagnosed with dementia. Nature and animals give Jac comfort and something to hold on to in an increasingly confusing existence. The documentary takes its name from a piece of meadow near Horst, North Limburg, idyllically situated at the edge of a forest. Ruud Lenssen will introduce the film and will be present during the after-party to talk with caregivers.
