Süssmuth e.V.

Süßmuth e.V. is a documentary film that tackles the difficult topic of dementia by presenting different perspectives of individuals who are either fighting the disease themselves, witnessing a loved one battling against it, or taking a compassionate stance as caregivers. Drawing attention to the fact that dementia steals people's identities piece by piece, the film sheds light on both the importance of cherishing life's transient nature and fostering human connection in the face of loss. Told through the lenses of real-life people, the film encourages empathy, solidarity, and compassion in every aspect of life, not just for those affected by dementia but for all of society as a whole. As it depicts the complexities of the human condition, the film transcends the realms of a medical issue to provide a very human perspective on life, love, and loss.
