Inspired by Netflix's "Over the Moon" and Studio Ghibli's "Howl's Moving Castle," 'Forget You Not' shares one of many perspectives of family caregivers to loved ones living with dementia. In caring for a parent with dementia, the child will need to grow up faster than the rate of the disease's progression. Relationships are strained, changed, and missed. And in a twisted irony, your mom has become young again. She cries. She laughs. She doesn't remember you.
