“Helper-helped: a body committed from the heart”

Screening of a photographic and audio documentary produced by the Montpellier-based associationNos mémoires vives, followed by a discussion.

This 30-minute documentary filmed in the Grand Pic Saint Loup region bears witness to intimate and unique relationships intertwined with kindness, bitterness, generosity, exhaustion, opportunities, constraints, guilt, love... Nine caregivers and seven of their loved ones—mother-son or daughter, husband-wife, or wife-wife pairs—share their stories and give us an authentic and sensitive glimpse into their daily lives.

How does one become a caregiver? How does one experience being cared for? How does the special relationship between caregiver and care recipient evolve with dependency?

 There are 11 million caregivers in France. By 2030, one in four working people will be a caregiver.

 Starring:

• Pauline Orain, director and co-founder of the associationNos mémoires vives (Our Living Memories);
• Aurore Millet, neuropsychologist for France Alzheimer;
• and one of the protagonists of the documentary
