After the once so sparkling André has also chased away his last home nurse, his daughter Anne sees no other way out than to take her dementing father into her home. Caring for André puts the relationship between parent and child under high tension. What follows is a confusing maze in which reality and imagination become increasingly difficult to distinguish from each other.
De Vader is a psychological drama that takes an intimate look at the crumbling reality of a man with dementia. An intriguing family portrait in which the limits of ‘loving’ and ‘unconditional love’ are pushed to their extremes. How do you communicate with someone who experiences a different reality? How do you slowly say goodbye to someone who no longer recognizes you?
De Vader (Florian Zeller) was internationally awarded and the 2020 film adaptation with Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman grew into a great success.
In the context of the dementia-friendly month, we are working with the Dienst Sociale Zorg to develop a framework.
