Storyline
Mamma Gógó is about Gógó, an elderly lady, who is diagnosed with Alzheimer disease and her son's and family's reaction to her illness. While Gógó is continuously getting herself into trouble, of the kind only a person with Alzheimer can, the son, the director is struggling with financial troubles after his film Children of Nature has flopped in the cinema. As Gógó's disease progresses her family decides that it is best for her to move to a nursing home. Gógó and her deceased husband, who appears on the scene, are not happy with that decision. The director is dependent on others when it comes to his finances and when Gógó settles into the nursing home he decides to sell his mother's apartment and valuable artwork but the profits of the sale help him to get by. Written by Gudrun Edda Thorhannesdottir

This movie is so true showing the heartbreaking side of family members suffering from Alzheimers. Anybody who has no been in the same situation cannot relate to it how it destroys the family rather than the person suffering Alzheimers.
Worthwhile for anybody watching this movie who has a similar situation. You are not alone, as sad as it is.
The Alzheimers sufferers are even trickier and sometimes mean to their family, more as shown in this movie. It is a sad path of life. I can relate to this story or subject from own experience and I feel for the producer and his family.
