- Synopsis
- IRENE is a 10-minute documentary produced for the Scottish Documentary Institute’s Bridging the Gap scheme 2008. It is an engaging story about the filmmaker’s 92 year old grandmother, and the daughter who cares for her. While suffering from Alzheimer’s and decreasing physical ability, Irene’s feisty personality still shines through, often leading to both laughter and heartache. The film is a personal portrayal of three generations of women who all have to face a difficult decision. The film observes particular circumstances which highlight the tension between Irene’s desire to live at home and the dangers she faces in doing so.
