In Germany alone, 1.4 million people are affected by dementia. Their relatives and caregivers not only witness a decline in intellectual functions but also have entirely different, encouraging experiences in their lives with those suffering from dementia. Till Velten speaks with various individuals, including a theater director, a pastor, a voice coach, a parapsychologist, a hula dancer, and an architect, about their encounters with dementia patients, as well as themes of forgetting and memory, humor, tenderness, shame, and kindness. The volume is complemented by several essays, including one by Inge Jens, as well as a photographic resonance space created by Till Velten.
