Description:

Cassiopeia is a deeply moving film charting the emotional landscape of a daughter caring for her father as he battles dementia. Their relationship, once vibrant and full of shared moments, including countless nights spent gazing at the distinct "W" of the Cassiopeia constellation, faces its greatest challenge. As the father’s memories become increasingly fragmented and elusive, the daughter desperately tries to anchor him to their past. She uses the familiar constellation as a poignant symbol, hoping its constancy might spark recognition or a flicker of their shared history. The story explores the profound grief of watching a loved one disappear piece by piece, juxtaposed with the unwavering strength of a daughter’s love. It’s a tender, naturalistic portrayal of navigating the complexities of memory loss, highlighting how even in the darkest times, certain connections, like a guiding star, can briefly illuminate the path back home.
