- To the doctor.

Yes, I know that.

That was just a joke.

- Hey, Dad. Where are you right now?

- In London. I told you that.

- Everything groovy?

- Yes. Did Grandpa pick you up?

How's the weather in London?

The sun's shining.

- Did Grandpa pick you up?

- We're there.

- Where?

- At the doctor's.

- Can I talk to him a sec?

- The doctor?

No, Grandpa.

Um...

He's busy filling out forms right now.

Grandpa's filling out forms?

Yeah.

Okay.

Let me talk to him now.

We're up. Bye!

Hello, I have an appointment.

Oh yes.

- Tilda Rosenbach?

- Yes.

- You really are pretty late.

- Yes.

- Are you here all alone?

- Who do you take with you to the doctor?

That sounds very good. No obstructions.

- You've been wearing socks, right?

- Yes.

May I ask you something?

Of course you can.

What's Alzheimer's?

- What makes you ask that?

- I think my grandpa has it.

What's given you that idea?

My mom said he has it.

Is your mom a doctor?

No, she works for an advertising agency.

See what I mean.

Why don't you tell me

about your grandpa?

Does he sometimes get confused?

Forget things?

Sometimes?

Sometimes I get confused or forget things.

It's normal at my age.

So, my lovely lady,

I've cooked your favorite cake.

I must have forgotten it in the kitchen.

I'll be back in a sec.

Now, just imagine

that all of these books

are your grandpa's brain.

And now, because of this illness,

now and again some of the books

start falling over.

The instant one falls,

he forgets what's inside it.

Depending on how he's doing,

some books might right themselves.

But others fall over instead.

As the illness progresses,

ever more fall over.

In the end,

the books fall off the shelf completely.

Until one day...

Till he doesn't know

anything at all anymore?

Till he doesn't know anything at all!

What can I do to make him better?

What your grandpa needs now

is lots of love from you.

And understanding.

Even when he says or does

senseless things.

You have to make him feel

that you understand him.

And you have to give him tasks.

That is extremely important for him.

So he feels needed.

What was it I wanted to do here?

Odd.

How did those ever get in there?

Amandus? Oh God!

- What happened?

- I'm making a cake.

Oh God!

Don't move an inch!

I'm so sorry.

Everything will be okay. It'll be okay.

Do you think we can still eat the cake?

- Definitely.

- Want a piece?

I really have to lose weight.

- Then I'll throw it out.

- No.

You're not going to do that.

Damn!

- What are you doing?

- Looking for my honey!

- You bake that?

- No, your dad.

Try it. It's not as bad as it looks.

- You didn't try it.

- Oh yes, for your father.
