action
Farmer Jürg can't quite believe it: his wife Fränzi bursts the collar and she leaves him with the children and forgetful father Karli for two weeks. Jürg has no choice but to take the reins in hand. He quickly realizes that Fränzi was right and that his elderly father is not just getting older, but is suffering from Alzheimer's. Jürg is facing the challenge of his life and he comes up with a few ideas to get his father to move along.
reception
The program magazine TV Spielfilm described the drama in its TV review as an “impressive study of a widespread disease” and wrote: “The melancholy, very touching film shows with a precise look and quiet humor what it means when a loved one slowly disappears into the fog. “The Frankfurter Rundschau rated Nebelgrind as“ worth seeing ”and found the production to be“ a sensitively staged and touching family drama by Swiss director Barbara Kulcsar, which shows in front of an impressive natural backdrop how Alzheimer's disease messes up the life of an entire family and, at the same time, the creeping one Loss of a loved one means. ”The film thus ranks in thematically similar films such as Iris (2001) and At her side (2006).
