Who You Again?

by Ryan Okinaka
directed by Erin Healani Chung

An Oʻahu family struggles to care for their matriarch as dementia slowly steals her memories away. Her grandson's method of existing within -- and adding to -- the imaginative world she inhabits creates a special bond. He helps her cope with changing realities, and she gives him the gift of self-acceptance.
