In this animated, interactive VR experience, we step into the shoes of Ida, a 72-year-old pianist who suffers from dementia. A story that is both personal and universal about human connection.
We experience a day in Ida's life as her reality slowly fades. The apartment, where she has spent her entire life with her beloved husband Daniel, initially feels empty and undefined. As we interact with objects and play back recordings of her husband, her playful world gradually comes to life, as if it is being painted before our eyes.
Like puzzle pieces, memories and conversations help Ida rediscover herself. But we also uncover Daniel's struggles as he hopes to stay connected and realizes that their remaining time together may be short. A Long Goodbye is a poetic experience about the impact of dementia, but above all, it is about love and the long farewell of two loved ones who have shared a life together. This VR experience had its world premiere at the 82nd Venice Film Festival and won the Venice Immersive Achievement Prize there.
