Beschreibungen
A moving and insightful story of a woman with early onset Alzheimers disease, now a major film starring Academy Awardwinner Julianne Moore and Kristen Stewart. Alice Howland is proud of the life she worked so hard to build. At fifty, shes a cognitive psychology professor at Harvard and a renowned expert in linguistics, with a successful husband and three grown children. When she begins to grow forgetful and disoriented, she dismisses it for as long as she can until a tragic diagnosis changes her life - and her relationship with her family and the world around her - for ever. Unable to care for herself, Alice struggles to find meaning and purpose as her concept of self gradually slips away. But Alice is a remarkable woman, and her family learn more about her and each other in their quest to hold on to the Alice they know. Her memory hanging by a frayed thread, she is living in the moment, living for each day. But she is still Alice.
