Absences

The film was inspired by Laganière's own personal story, whose mother's memory is slowly being consumed by Alzheimer's disease. This "anticipated separation" serves as a bridge to the film's other subjects as they pursue their own personal quests. Through their stories, Absences explores the deepest regions of the psyche, where our sense of loss and resiliency co-exist.
