From the perspective of "Anthony" played by Anthony, the film deeply shows the chaotic and disordered world in the eyes of an elderly Alzheimer's patient from the perspective of time, space, and memory cognition. Knowledgeable and able-bodied people try to perceive and understand the different world in the eyes of Alzheimer's patients.

While watching this movie I thought of my grandmother who also suffers from Alzheimer's. The person I used to be closest to gradually began to be different day by day, and she became sensitive and eccentric - she would blame her own children for stealing her gold bars, and say the most vitriolic things to her children; Like Anthony, she seems to be very particular about the time, she doesn't have a watch, but she keeps an alarm clock in her arms forever where she can see it, as if she always knew her life was wound up; He pointed to the corner of the roof and said that there was a strange person there...

If time and space and the people I see are no longer real, at least my hug should make her feel the real warmth...

    Anthony: Are you a nun?

    Laura: No.

    Anthony: Then why are you speaking to me as if I'm retarded?

  • Anthony: I am worried. It's very worrying. I mean... Losing all my things, everyone's just helping themselves, and... If this goes on much longer, um, I'll be stark naked. And, um, I... I won't be able to tell what time it is.
