Screening of a photographic and sound documentary produced by the Montpellier-based association Nos mémoires vives, followed by a discussion.

This 30-minute report, produced in the Grand Pic Saint Loup region, bears witness to intimate and unique relationships where benevolence, bitterness, giving, exhaustion, opportunities, constraints, guilt and love intermingle... 9 caregivers and 7 of their loved ones - mother-son or daughter duos, husband-wife or wife-wife - recount their journeys and open up their daily lives to us with authenticity and sensitivity.

How does one become a caregiver? How does the special relationship between caregiver and cared-for evolve with dependency?

 There are 11 million carers in France. By 2030, one working person in 4 will be a carer.

 With :

  • Pauline Orain, director and co-founder of the Nos mémoires vives association;
  • Aurore Millet, neuropsychologist for France Alzheimer;
  • and one of the protagonists of the documentary
