Summary:

In Danville, California, Lee Gorewitz wanders on a soul-searching odyssey through her Alzheimer's & Dementia care unit. Confined by the limits of her physical boundaries, she scavenges for reminders of her life in the outside world. Yet her search is for more than a word, or a memory, or a familiar face. It is a quest for understanding. A total immersion into the fragmented day-to-day experience of mental illness, You're Looking at Me Like I Live Here and I Don't is the first Alzheimer's documentary filmed exclusively in an Alzheimer's & Dementia care unit, and the first told from the perspective of someone suffering from Alzheimer's disease. The film reveals Lee's penetrating ruminations and charismatic vitality, challenging our preconceptions of illness and aging. Here is the journey of a woman who will not let us forget her - even as she struggles to remember her self.
