Mia Farrow plays Diane, a lawyer. At a family
party she falls. She sees a doctor and tells him she's forgetting
things. He asks if there is Alzheimers in the family. Of course she
doesn't tell her family and in fact she appears better after the
diagnosis.Then she sees a TV programme on Dr. Kerkovian and thinks
of killing herself. She wants to talk with others like herself in her
age group.
She meets a young man with a similar diagnosis and decides to set
up a support group.
And naturally this is the true story of the woman who set up the
first support group for early onset Alzheimers. In reality there isn't
much of a story to tell and it needs a lot of padding. Mia Farrow goes
through film like a zombie.
Another important subject blown away. And the sad thing is that
main stream movies are not going to tackle these "disease of the week"
subjects. Though more well known actors are getting involved.
