Amazing at the subtle nod to the fatherhood. This dude is shown as concerned about the well-being of this woman that he doesn't know, as if she were his own daughter. In some way, maybe he knows on a subconscious level that he is supposed to help and support her.
"The Wait delicately explores the emotional journey of a daughter caring for her father with dementia, portraying the complexities of love, loss, and the enduring bond that transcends memory." It is truly very heart touching
When I first saw this I was extremely depressed. Just got kicked out of the military had no one aside from my family who I was distant from. Thinking I wasn't gonna add up to anything. I just shuffled a long. Talked to a few people online. Met my best friend who has helped me so much that I don't feel suicidal every night. I get stressed but not like before where any stress nearly send me over board. So the you'll manage line to me is true as long as you believe it.
My mum has dementia and when I talk to her about stuff that happened yesterday she said she was at the beach with us kids flying kites . Mum yesterday you were at the hospital. The kite thing was when I was eight, I'm now 61
I've seen this a few time, it's heart breaking, especially the lady. you can see all the waves of emotions she's going through, and it's absolutely tragic, and one of the few things as a 44 year old man, to make my cry :-( The old chap is amazing too, he shows such concern, and it's obvious to us he feels a connection, but not quite to him. I hope this message goes far and wide, dementia and Alzheimer's is one of the cruellest things for a family to live through :-(
How hard to talk to the one you love while they don't even remember you. Having to talk about your memories as if they've never heard the stories before and re explaining things to simplify. Dementia is so soul crushing. But this is real life. We usher one in as others are departing. All we can do is enjoy the people we love while given the chance. All my core memories provided by someone who doesn't recognize me now. It eats a hole in my heart realizing that it's happened so fast. From chatting about life to a year later being so far in that I'm just a stranger. Now I'm in my own waiting period. The wait til the people I hold so dear depart from me again, but this time physically. My thoughts are with anyone who can relate to this. Beautifully made.
"Life goes on...!" That's what it teaches. Mad respect for the writers, the directors n the actors. I'd give Oscar to it if it was for me. N mad respect for the people who are struggling in real lives but still going on. You guys are the most important ones!
Ok, it's heartbreaking. But, am I the only one that here that considers it fascinating to be able to meet someone You love as a stranger and see how he really is? It's heartbreaking but for me it was, "what a wonderful nice man".
“How he really is” is debatable, that’s just how he is to strangers. One sociological theory is that different people have different faces for each of the roles that they play in life, and this would be one face of many. It might be interesting to see the other faces of the people that you know, but none of them are necessarily their “true” face; they’re just parts of the whole.
I see what you mean. However, when your dad, the one that was there at your birth, the one that raised you, your only one dad, looks at you in the eyes and asks " are you the plumber?" Then i tell you there is nothing marvellous in this. Alzheimers make people drink soap and eat their shoe laces. It is an evil, evil, evil disease.
What you have is a misconception about the disease. It's not who the person really is, but more like the same person in a different part of the life or something similar to that. Many people with Alzheimer's just got stuck with memories as they are the present time and that made them act like another person that time. They have no control and struggle to understand the situations, it's suffering. I'm not a specialist or anything, but in my family we have a couple of cases. So, please, don't romanticize this disease. Don't think that "can be a great experience" it's slowing dying losting a bit of your own identity and concious day by day. It's terrifiyng. Sorry for my english and if i sound rude in any part of my comment.
I could see how you might think that but trust me ,there is no silver lining or anything positively fascinating about it when it's someone you love or are close too
It really hits home. My grandma has dementia and she's already lost herself. It's terrible to witness someone who once had so much light in their eyes just go to a blank stare. She can't remember any of her kids, my uncles and my dad, her husband, my grandpa, or any of us anymore. It gets to a terminal point and everyone just learns to cope with it. People who have to live with their family member who is losing theirself everyday takes a lot out of them. If anyones reading this who is, just know you are strong and so loving for taking care of them. I know it can be difficult but you're doing great. You're doing the best you can.
My grandmother had Alzheimer's (i lost her last year to the disease and old age) Even though i didnt know her when it got to this point, its still heartbreaking because she still exhibited symptoms like this when i was around her I have only positive thoughts to those with or with loved ones with dementia They do love you, i can promise you that, even if they dont remember, they love you very very much
Going through the same thing with my mum, 82, at stage 6 Alzheimer's. I've been her full time home carer for 14 years but it all got too much for me a few months ago and she is now in a care home. Thankfully she's settled there but she now forgets who I am and I have to introduce myself as someone she used to know rather than her son every time I see her. It's so that she doesn't get agitated but it's breaking my heart.
This is the most moving thing I've ever seen. it's been 3 years and I could be riding BMX/chilling with the guys/having a party, doesn't matter, when this video comes to mind I start crying.
What a brilliant way of getting the message across… that one line showcases how truly sad this disease is… please hold on to your parents as much and as long as u can.. just can’t come into terms myself that they’re getting older too.
I had a grandma that had Alzheimer’s. She lived with us. Months after she moved in, she forgot how to walk, talk, and eat. She forgot who anyone was. We always loved her and cherished her.
This happened in real life. Mom describes to her mother about what her mother is like, and she responds like she's talking about a random friend including the "sounds a lot like me." part. Heart wrenching video.
Having seen a father living with Alzheimer's, this was a very poignant short film that hit hard. The actors are amazing and the scenario was so relatable...
I worked with people with dementia for years. It was totally fine for them because they didn’t understand. But it was so hard for the families. Heartbreaking
the dad seems like such a nice guy he genuinely looks sweet and what he says is so nice and he tries to support her even when she thinks she can’t do it
Not a lot of things can actually make me cry, like I seriously struggle to find anything that does. But man, when I heard her say dad the tears just started and they won’t stop.
saw this short film first time and didn't understood what's actually happening but today when I was studying about Alzheimer's disease,this short film popped in my mind & I searched for this time it made me cry 😢 cruellest disease to say
Dang that's heartbreaking. I need a follow up to this short film. There are so many unanswered questions. So much better than many movies out right now.
Watch again and look at his daughter. Her expressions did it for me, at first I was like cheap tactic, you wont get me. Then when she realizes he's gone in the first few seconds your heart just crunches.
in the beginning, i thought it was kind of a trailer or smth, i said to myself i would watch it later, then i realized it was the whole movie, but i loved it, one of the greatest movies of all time
...i played, "The Waiting", by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers prior to watching this. I was a tune lovin' teen when that video dropped..loved it, ever since..some 40 yrs on. Then watched this video. Both made me weep for..different..and yet similar reasons. 💛💛💛

The part where the dad said " not too long to go" and her replying with "easy for you to say" is the most subtle of nods considering its initially seen as a wave away comment but in reality it really is easy for him to say considering he can't perceive time passing by as such anymore.

@@macdhomhnaill7721 Which is not true at all. They tend to go into a former version of themselves at the Alzheimer's degrades the most recent memories. They recess into how they were when they were younger, even going as far back as children in extreme cases. Dementia is more along the lines of just not being able to retain long term memories and everything that has happened to you tends to get garbled and forgotten. However even with dementia people revert to what their dominant tendencies in social situations were before the syndrome; aka a wallflower or an extrovert.
Her moment of confusion before realizing he's slipped away again, her angry responses, his unaware comforting, this is all so good. It's something that means even more on a second watch. I come back on occasion, but it always makes me want to cry
I seem to return to this video a lot to just cry my eyes out. I'm 24 years old now. My father is 63 years old now and I've seen him struggle a lot in life. He was in the worst place when my grandmother died, but even through that he always kept a positive attitude and he has always been there for me and my sister. The last couple of years I've seen him physically decay little by little which reminds me of the fact that one day he won't be here anymore and that time passes very very quickly. This really motivates me to get in contact with him and do stuff together that we love doing. Cycling in the Northern-Italian mountains with him was amazing and is one of the best memories of my life. I love him with all my heart and I hope to be able to share a lot more of these moments with him before we can't anymore. I'm not sure about what point I was really trying to make. But this video reminds me of the limited time we have to spend time with our loved ones and that we should make the best of it.

この男性が"見知らぬ妊婦"を励ましている時は頼もしげなのに、"自分の娘"に「お父さん、行こう」と言われている時は認知症の人特有の不安気な表情を浮かべている様子に号泣してしまいました。
大人になった娘のことは忘れても優しさは忘れていないところが救いであり、同時に切なくもあります。
