A Long Goodbye

A Long Goodbye tells the story of Ida, a 72-year-old pianist living with dementia. In this VR experience, we walk in Ida’s shoes, as her reality is fading. When we interact with objects in her apartment and play the tape recordings of her husband Daniel, her world gradually comes to life, as if painted before our eyes. Like pieces of a puzzle, memories and conversations help Ida to rediscover herself. But we also discover Daniel’s hope to stay connected as he realises their remaining time together may be short. A Long Goodbye is a poetic experience about the impact of dementia, but above all about love and the long goodbye of two lovers who shared a life together.
