Summaries

If the human concept of time ceases at the moment of death, is it then physically possible to experience eternity? Can we affect this last moment in life? Can we build our own eternity? 'I Remember When I Die' takes partly place at life's last destination, a hospice - and is partly shot in a land of memories and provocative choices. We meet the patients, their stand-ins and their dreams. Death is a process. Not black and white. If you could hold on to a memory forever, which one would it be? A highly original journey into the mystery of consciousness.—Garagefilm International

I Remember When I Die explores memories relationship with matter, the value of remembering and the fear of being forgotten. Set in a hospice, the dying patients are asked to choose the memory they will think of when they die. With a surrealistic and imaginative touch on reality, director Maria Bäck carefully leads the participating hospice patients through their last official statement in life.

If you could actually hold a memory forever, which one would it be? I Remember When I Die, partly shot at a hospice, partly in a land of memories, is a highly original journey into the mystery of consciousness, that might cure the fear of death.
