A special ScreenPlay production, this unique and moving film written by distinguished poet Tony Harrison is a tribute to sufferers from Alzheimer's disease, a condition that affects 600,000 people in Britain today. It is timed to coincide with National Alzheimer's Awareness week which starts on Monday 5 July.

Filmed in High Royds Hospital, Menston, Yorkshire, it combines drama, documentary, song, verse and music to gently unravel the lives of the residents. The patients, their families and the nursing staff play themselves.

Celebrating lost memories in poignant verse and song, the film has a specially arranged score written by Dominic Muldowney and ranges from Daisy, Daisy, Give Me Your Answer Do! to a Puccini aria from Madam Butterfly.

Three actresses re-create the wedding days of patients who can no longer remember them and the black daisies of a hospital corridor floor become a motif for the film.

With David Mountford and the Choir of St Mary's Comprehensive School, Menston, Yorkshire.
